Dornie Ferry

Strathspey · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Dornie Ferry is a traditional-style strathspey composed by William Fergusson. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the A mixolydian mode, the tune features the brisk, dotted rhythms characteristic of Scottish fiddle music. While specific historical associations for the ferry crossing and its musical namesake remain unrecorded, the piece is performed in a lively, rhythmic style suited for traditional dancing.
