Major Graham
Major Graham is a traditional-style strathspey in four-four meter and D major composed by the celebrated Scottish fiddler Niel Gow. The tune exhibits the characteristically dotted rhythms and driving cadence typical of eighteenth-century Scottish fiddle music, designed to accompany energetic Highland dancing. Because specific historical associations beyond Gow's authorship are largely unrecorded, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its vibrant melodic structure and stylistic authenticity.
