Castlebay

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Castlebay is a traditional Scottish reel in 4/4 meter that takes its name from a coastal village on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not documented in the standard tradition, the tune is best known through its musical characteristics in the A Mixolydian mode. It features the bright, driving rhythm and lively melodic contour typical of fiddle and pipe music designed for dancing.
