Lion, The

Reel · 4/4 · G minor

The reel known as The Lion is a contemporary fiddle tune composed by Canadian musician Paul Cranford. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of G minor, the tune features an energetic and driving character typical of Cape Breton fiddle music. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition are not widely documented for this piece, its musical style and modern compositional origin remain its most defining attributes.
