Black Pig, The
The reel known as The Black Pig is a contemporary composition in 4/4 meter and E minor by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland. Featuring a driving rhythm and a distinctive melodic character, it is well-suited to the energetic playing style typical of modern Cape Breton traditional music sessions. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition are not widely documented for this tune, its significance rests primarily on Holland's enduring contribution to the modern Celtic fiddle repertoire.
