Devil's Dream, The

Reel · 4/4 · G major

The Devil's Dream is a traditional fiddle reel of uncertain origins that has circulated widely in both British and North American folk repertoires since the early nineteenth century. Set in 4/4 meter and typically played in the key of G major, the tune features a fast, driving rhythm built around intricate dotted figures and rapid string-crossing patterns. This lively and demanding character has long made it a favorite among contest fiddlers and traditional dance musicians for testing technical agility.
