Grayton Beach

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Grayton Beach is a traditional reel in 4/4 time and D major whose precise historical origin and composer are not documented. The tune features an upbeat character typical of contemporary fiddle repertoire, suited to energetic interpretations at lively session tempos. Because historical associations for the piece are uncertain, players focus on its melodic contour to drive traditional contra dance sets.
