Joys Of Mabou Mines, The
The reel The Joys Of Mabou Mines was composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Donald Angus Beaton. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of G major, the tune features an upbeat, driving character idiomatic to traditional Scottish-derived Cape Breton dance music. Because specific historical associations beyond its composition are not widely documented, the tune is best known through its continued performance in contemporary maritime fiddling repertoires.
