Miss McLeod's

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Miss McLeods is a well-known traditional reel in 4/4 time and G major of uncertain exact origin, though it has circulated widely in both Scottish and Irish fiddle repertoires for centuries. The tune features a lively, upbeat character with a highly energetic melody that encourages fast, driving bow work and rhythmic ornamentation from session players. Historical references place it in print by the late 18th century, and it later became a staple of old-time fiddle traditions in North America under various alternate titles.
