David Grier sounds great and so does Stuart Duncan. David has the best variation of fiddle tunes.

Great rendition of the Ballad of St. Anne's Reel. St.Patrick's Day is right around the corner.

(This is NOT a snarky reply, so please don't take offence). This tune is St Anne's reel, an excellent fiddle tune first recorded in 1947 I believe. In 1979 David Mallet wrote and recorded a wonderful expansion on the original, The Ballad of St Anne's Reel. A beautiful fiddle tune, beautifully reprised and enlarged by David Mallet. Very good music all around, we are all the richer.

Just to clarify,The Ballad of SAR is a song with lyrics which incorporates the fiddle tune in the chorus.It's been recorded by many including a nice version by the late John Denver.

St Annes reel is a composition from the great Manitoba Metis fiddler Andy Desjarlis. who composed this tune and is credited with at least 200 compositions and over a dozen albums. If you are unfamiliar with him it is because he is an unsung composer who needs to be recognized since he is not well known unfortunately outside of the Metis community (an Indigenous nation in Canada). He had released more than a dozen albums in his heyday (1950s-60s). check out his version of St Anne's reel at @ , He also composed another fiddle standard Whiskey before breakfast @

Thanks for the note. Did he really compose St. Anne's and Whiskey BB? That would be incredible if he did- I often wondered about the origins of those tunes. But internet research seems to show that St. Anne's for sure goes farther back than Desjarlis' time. Both tunes seem clearly to be of Canadian origin, and Desjarlis recorded great arrangements to be sure, but I'm not convinced he was the original composer.

Unfortunately, the great fiddle tradition of our (US) neighbors to the north is largely unknown down here. However, Fiddler'S Companion has this to say about the origin of St Anne's Reel: "According to Anne Lederman (in her article on “Fiddling” in the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada, 1992), tune was first recorded by Québec fiddler Joseph Allard as “Reel de Ste Anne”-which became popular in English-speaking Canada as “St. Anne’s Reel.” While this is not proof that “St. Anne’s” origins are French-Canadian (as Allard spend much of his youth in upper New England, where he played in fiddle contests, and presumably came into contact with regional musicians), it is suggestive. There are at least two bays by this name in eastern Canada, as the French alternate title above would suggest, though it is not known if those features explain the origin of the tune’s title. There is a French community called Baie Sainte Anne, on St. Anne’s Bay, near the mouth of Mirimichi Bay, New Bruswick. “St. Anne’s” was popularised by Radio and TV fiddler Don Messer (who had the title as “Sainte Agathe” in his 1948 Way Down East collection), and has been assimilated into several North American and British Isles traditions and remains a popular staple of fiddlers’ jam sessions.
