Rattlin', Roarin' Willie

Slip jig · 9/8 · D mixolydian

Rattlin', Roarin' Willie is a traditional tune with an uncertain specific origin and history beyond its early inclusion in Scottish collections. Written in 9/8 meter as a slip jig and set in the D mixolydian mode, the melody features a lively, driving character suited to energetic dancing. Because reliable historical associations and composer details are not established, the tune is best defined by its spirited rhythmic flow and traditional Scottish instrumental style.
