Whitefish In The Rapids

Reel · 4/4 · G minor

Whitefish In The Rapids is a traditional fiddle reel set in 4/4 time and the key of G minor, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unverified. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic momentum typical of North American and Celtic fiddle traditions, it is driven by a steady tempo well-suited for energetic contra dancing. The melody features intricate string crossings and undulating scalar runs that evoke the lively motion suggested by its descriptive title.
