Reel Des Appalaches

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Reel Des Appalaches is a traditional fiddle tune of uncertain origin that is widely played in French-Canadian and Celtic music circles. Set in the key of D major with a brisk 4/4 meter, the tune is characterized by a driving rhythm and a lively character well-suited for social dancing. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript records for this piece are not well established, musicians typically perform it with a lively bowing style and rhythmic energy typical of traditional Appalachian and Quebecois fiddling.
