Back to Warlock's Strathspey

WARLOCK’S STRATHSPEY. AKA – "The Warlock(’s)," "Peter Milne’s Strathspey." Scottish, Strathspey. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The Warlock" (i.e. sorcerer) was composed by Scottish dancing master and composer in Brechin, Robert Lowe, and published in his brother Joseph Lowe’s (1797-1866) 1844 collection. It is presumably a companion piece to Joseph's reel "Witches (The)." "The Warlock" was first recorded on a 78 RPM disc by Cape Breton fiddler Bill Lamey (Cranford), and has since become a popular reel among fiddlers on the island (where it occasionlly has been recorded as "Peter Milne's Strathspey").
