Hilda's Choice

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

Hilda's Choice is a modern reel composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland. Written in 4/4 time and set in the A Dorian mode, the tune exhibits the driving, rhythmic energy characteristic of traditional Scottish-derived fiddling in Nova Scotia. Because its precise historical background beyond Holland's authorship is undocumented, the piece is best appreciated through its lively melodic contours and prominent place in modern Cape Breton repertoire.
