Holland Wedding, The

Reel · 4/4 · B minor

The reel known as The Holland Wedding was composed by Hilda Chiasson Cormier, a well-known fiddler and pianist from the Margaree area of Cape Breton Island. Written in 4/4 meter and set in B minor, the tune features the lively, driving rhythm characteristic of traditional Cape Breton dance music. Because detailed historical associations beyond its regional authorship are not widely documented, the tune is best known today through the interpretations of maritime fiddlers who perform it in the vibrant local style.
