Back to Foula Reel (1)
FOULA REEL. AKA and see "Auld Foula Reel (Da)," "Shaalds O Foula (Da)," "Aald Reel (The)." Shetland, Jig. E Minor (sometimes G Major). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Hunter (1979) states the tune popularly used for country dances is known today as "Da Shaalds O Foula" or "Da Foula Shalds," but "The Foula Reel" is another tune altogether whose dance has been lost. Anderson & Georgeson (1970), however, assert there are many variations of both melody and dance (though most versions are in jig time, with only a few in reel time) that go by all four titles mentioned above. John Purser says the Foula Reel is still danced as a country dance in jig time. He thinks the tune had its origins on the Scottish mainland.
