Mr Sharp's Quadrille

Reel · 4/4 · A major

Mr Sharp's Quadrille is a traditional reel in four-four meter and A major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic style typical of nineteenth-century social dance music, making it well suited for lively contra or square dancing. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this setting are lacking, musicians focus primarily on its upbeat tempo and bright harmonic flavor when performing it today.
