La Belle Catherine
La Belle Catherine is a traditional French-Canadian reel in 4/4 time and the D major key, though its exact origins and composer are not historically documented. Played with the energetic, driving rhythm characteristic of traditional fiddle music, it is structured to accompany lively social dancing. This well-known tune remains a standard fixture in the traditional repertoire of Quebec and various North American fiddle communities.
