Fiddler's Casket, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · G major

The Fiddler's Casket is a traditional Scottish strathspey in G major, though its specific composer and historical origins are not documented. Set in 4/4 meter, the tune features the brisk, dotted rhythms characteristic of the genre, designed for energetic dancing and lively fiddle playing. Because reliable historical associations for the piece are unknown, traditional musicians typically perform it with a strong lift and crisp bow articulation typical of standard highland playing styles.
