Lively Steps
Composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland, Lively Steps is a lively reel set in 4/4 time and the D mixolydian mode. The tune is characterized by an energetic and driving rhythmic pulse well-suited for traditional dance accompaniment. While specific historical associations beyond its creation by Holland are not widely documented, it remains a vibrant staple within contemporary Cape Breton fiddle repertoire.
