The Cape Breton Fiddle: Making and Maintaining Tradition

by Glenn Graham

Editor's note: All selections were recorded live-mostly home recordings-because this best represents the "natural" setting in which Cape Breton fiddle music is played. In other words, these are traditional tunes in traditional settings, rather than studio recordings. The use of home recordings (as opposed to commercial) emphasizes the author's views about the making and maintaining of a musical tradition. The home recordings presented here are from private collections kindly provided to assist the reader to understand and appreciate the tradition.

We are grateful to these performers, composers and those who hold the original recordings, for allowing their inclusion here. The music is intended solely for purchasers of the book for the purpose expressed and not for commercial use-it is not to be sold or copied. All rights reserved.
