Francis Beaton's

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Francis Beaton is a reel in 4/4 time and D major composed by Donald Angus Beaton. Because the specific historical background and exact date of composition are not reliably documented, the tune is best known through its presence in Cape Breton fiddle traditions. It is typically played with the driving rhythm, lively character, and characteristic bowing style associated with Scottish-derived maritime dance music.
