Paul Cranford's Map Of Cape Breton

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

Paul Cranford's Map Of Cape Breton is a traditional jig composed in the A dorian mode with a 6/8 meter. Because the specific composer is not recorded, the tune is best known through modern Cape Breton fiddling traditions where it is played with a lively, rhythmic lift characteristic of East Coast dance music. While it lacks a documented early historical association, it has become a popular and enduring fixture in contemporary maritime fiddle repertoires.
