Young Alumnus
Composed by fiddle player Andrea Beaton, Young Alumnus is a contemporary waltz written in the key of B minor. Set in 3/4 meter, the tune features a graceful yet driving rhythmic flow characteristic of modern Cape Breton dance music. While specific historical associations for the piece are not documented, it stands as a celebrated example of Beaton's prolific contributions to the Scottish-derived fiddle tradition of Nova Scotia.
