Harbourview, The

Jig · 6/8 · E dorian

The tune titled The Harbourview is a 6/8 jig in the key of E Dorian composed by Cape Breton fiddler John Campbell. Because detailed historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and traditional Scottish-derived aesthetic common to Cape Breton fiddle music. It is typically played with the brisk bowing technique and lift characteristic of eastern Canadian dance repertoire.
