Reel Du Caribou

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Reel du Caribou is a traditional French-Canadian fiddle tune of uncertain specific origin preserved widely within the traditional repertoires of Quebec. It is typically played in a lively 4/4 meter and the key of D major, driven by a bouncing, rhythmic bowing style characteristic of traditional French-Canadian dance music. Because detailed historical associations and exact dates of composition for the tune are not reliably documented, its enduring popularity relies entirely on its transmission through generations of informal community fiddling.
