Professor Blackie

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Professor Blackie is a traditional-style reel composed in 4/4 time and the key of D major by the renowned Scottish fiddler James Scott Skinner.

Musically, it is characterized by the lively, intricate bowing and brisk tempo typical of Skinner's celebrated Scottish dance repertoire.
