    That Driving Sound: Use of Tempo in Traditional Cape Breton Fiddle Performance

    In Cape Breton traditional dance fiddling, the intimate rhythmic relationship between fiddle and feet yields smooth transitions from one tune type to another in order to facilitate the steps. Through analysis of 17 recorded performances of march, strathspey, and reel sets, I measure minute tempo fluctuations as they correspond to the concert presentation of a medley of tunes to explain the mechanics and roots of the large-scale continuous tempo acceleration. This acceleration comes out of the music’s relationship to dance, shaping the performance and helping to define the sound of Cape Breton fiddling.Dans les airs traditionnels de danse joués au violon à Cap-Breton, la relation rythmique intime entre le violon et les pieds permet des transitions fluides d'un type d'air à l'autre afin de faciliter les pas de danse. En analysant 17 enregistrements d'airs de marche, de strathspeys et de reels, je mesure jusqu'aux plus petites fluctuations de tempo correspondant à l'exécution en concert d'un pot-pourri de chansons pour expliquer la mécanique et les racines de l'accélération continue et à grande échelle du rythme. Cette accélération provient de la relation de la musique à la danse, qui modèle l'exécution et qui contribue à définir le son du violon de Cap-Breton
