Kinnon Beaton

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Composed by celebrated Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland, Kinnon Beaton is a lively 6/8 jig in G major written in honor of the renowned Cape Breton pianist and composer of the same name. The tune is typically performed in a driving, rhythmic Cape Breton style that suits energetic step dancing and traditional sessions alike. As a well-known modern composition in the Scottish-derived tradition of Atlantic Canada, it has become a staple in the repertoires of contemporary fiddlers.
