Colin Rankin's

Strathspey · 4/4 · B minor

Colin Rankin's is a modern strathspey composed by the acclaimed Canadian fiddler Glenn Graham. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of B minor, the tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving cadence of traditional Cape Breton fiddle music. Because specific historical associations and regional origins beyond Graham's authorship are not documented for this piece, its performance relies on the energetic bowing and ornamentation typical of Scottish-derived fiddling in Nova Scotia.
