Tune Information

Author: Jerry Holland

Origin: Canada - Cape Breton

This tune was composed in 1988 as a slow air by fiddler Jerry Holland (1955-2009), who lived in Inverness on Cape Breton. The tune was written for his father, to commemorate their shared love of Cape Breton. The author stated that he wanted to give the tune a different name, but a friend wrote lyrics to the melody and called it "My Cape Breton Home", so he stuck with that title.

Tune Information

Origin: England - Northumberland

This is a well-known Northumberland tune, sometimes played as a lullaby. It may derive its character from the peculiarities of the local northeastern bagpipe. John Bell noted the song at the start of the 19th century, but it wasn't printed until 1882 in the Northumbrian Minstrelsy.

Tune Information

Author: Pete Jung

Origin: USA - New England

This tune was written by Pete Jung in 1985. "I wrote this while playing the mandolin, on the way back home from a Brattleboro (VT) Dawn Dance, at about 7 A.M. I wrote it for a particular woman who has an enchanting but elusive quality — that was what I was trying to convey."
