Wilfred Gillis

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Dan R. MacDonald, Wilfred Gillis is a lively 6/8 jig set in the key of A major. The tune exhibits the driving rhythm and buoyant character typical of Scottish-influenced Maritime fiddle music. Although specific historical associations beyond its creation by MacDonald are not widely documented, it remains a celebrated staple in the traditional Cape Breton repertoire.
