BEDDING OF THE BRIDE [1], THE. AKA - "Bean na bàinnse." Scottish, Pipe Reel. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The tune "is generally performed with great rapidity during the ceremonial of bedding the bride, and as celebrated as 'Cuttymun and Treeladle' in the low country, for exciting the agility of the dancers" (Fraser). Following the wedding dinner and festivities the 'Bedding of the Bride', the formal undressing and bedding of the bride and groom, provided prima facie proof of consummation to the union and was considered a very important part of the marriage contract.
