Tom Rae
Tom Rae is a reel in 4/4 time and A dorian mode composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler and composer Dan R. MacDonald. The tune features the driving, rhythmic character typical of Scottish-derived Cape Breton dance music, making it a favorite among modern traditional fiddlers. Because its history and origins are largely tied to the prolific output of its verified composer rather than older folklore, detailed narrative associations beyond MacDonald's repertoire are not widely established.
