Da Blue Yowe

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Da Blue Yowe is a traditional Shetland reel in 4/4 time and D major, though its exact origins and composer are not historically documented. Played with the characteristic lively bounce and spirited bowing of Shetland fiddle music, it is designed to accompany energetic dancing. Because early written records are scarce, the tune has been preserved primarily through oral tradition and modern stylistic revivals among northern fiddlers.
