Howie MacDonald's
Composed in G major in 4/4 meter by Cape Breton fiddler Kinnon Beaton, Howie MacDonald's is a lively modern reel named in honor of fellow Cape Breton musician Howie MacDonald. The tune is traditionally performed in a driving, rhythmic Cape Breton fiddle style characterized by upbeat phrasing and vigorous bowing suited for dancing. While its specific historical association is limited to the vibrant Scottish-derived fiddling community of Nova Scotia, it has become a popular standard in contemporary Celtic sessions.
