Added by magataganm, 19 Jul 2013 Scottish reels are mentioned as early as the 16th century. Except in the Scottish Highlands, they disappeared under the influence of the Presbyterian church in the 17th century; they reappeared in the Scottish Lowlands after 1700. The Irish reel, or cor, is distinguished by more complex figurations and styling and may be either a solo or a set dance to reel music. Reels are danced, less... When dances are categorized by tempo, Reels are the most common form of Scottish Country Dance. They are performed mostly to 4/4 tempo music. A few are in 2/4 tempo (with the same number of bars rather than crochets per minute) though only the experienced musician would be aware of the difference. Note that the presence of the word, Reel, in a dance title does not necessarily mean that it is danced to the Reel tempo; for example; this piece. Although this work was originally written for Folk Instruments & Voice, I created this arrangement for Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp. |
