Rapids

Reel · 4/4 · B minor

Rapids is a traditional-style reel composed in 4/4 meter by the contemporary Canadian fiddler Donnell Leahy. Set in the key of B minor, the tune is driven by a lively, fast-paced rhythm and an energetic character typical of modern Celtic and Cape Breton fiddle styles. Because its history and associations beyond Leahy's authorship are not well documented, the piece is best appreciated through its dynamic, highly rhythmic melody tailored for modern dance and concert performance.
