Highlandman, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · A mixolydian

The traditional Scottish strathspey known as The Highlandman is played in 4/4 meter and set in the A Mixolydian mode. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not reliably documented, musicians approach it as a standard piece within the traditional repertoire. The tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and energetic character typical of traditional Scottish fiddle music designed for dancing.
