  • Cape Breton Girl: Performing Cape Breton at Home and Away with Natalie Macmaster
    Cape Breton Girl: Performing Cape Breton at Home and Away with Natalie MacMaster KATHRYN ALEXANDER Abstract: Normative gendered and ethnic Scottish Cape Bretoner identity is constructed through traditional music and dance performance and practice. This article examines how Natalie MacMaster 43 (1): 89-111. 43 (1): constructs her gendered and ethnic identities as normative and quintessentially Cape Breton through her stage performances both on the island and internationally. The vision of Scottish Cape Bretonness she crafts shapes the perceptions and expectations of Cape Breton held by non-islander consumers of the MUSICultures island’s Scottish culture. As an unofficial cultural ambassador, MacMaster’s every performance, at home and away, becomes a tourism encounter that ties Cape Bretonness to ethnic whiteness, traditionalism, and heteronormativity. Résumé : L’identité écossaise de Cap Breton, pour ce qui est de la normativité du genre et de l’ethnicité, se construit au moyen de la performance et de la pratique de la musique et de la danse traditionnelles. Cet article examine la façon dont Natalie MacMaster construit son identité de genre et son identité ethnique dans une normativité typique du Cap Breton par le biais de ses spectacles, tant sur l’île qu’au niveau international. La représentation qu’elle donne du caractère écossais de Cap Breton façonne les perceptions qu’ont de l’île les consommateurs non insulaires, et leurs attentes au sujet de la culture écossaise de l’île. En tant qu’ambassadrice culturelle non officielle, chaque performance de MacMaster, tant dans son île qu’à l’étranger, devient une rencontre touristique qui lie l’identité de Cap Breton à l’ethnicité blanche, au traditionalisme et à l’hétéro-normativité.

NATALIE MACMASTER Meet Natalie MacMaster: wife, mother and virtuoso Cape Breton !ddler whose passionate pro!ciency on the beloved four-string ampli!es the traditional East Coast sound for contemporary times. It’s a signature sound that has resonated with world audiences through 10 albums, multiple gold sales !gures and 27 years; numerous Juno and East Coast Music Awards; two honorary degrees (from Niagara University, NY, and Trent University) and an honorary doctorate (St. "omas University); the Order Of Canada – and a reputation as one of Canada’s most captivating performers. She also has the respect and admiration of top-notch musicians: master violinist Mark O’Connor, whose camp MacMaster frequents as a guest instructor; legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma – who recently invited her to participate as a guest performer on his 2008 holiday-themed album Songs Of Joy & Peace; banjo prodigy Béla Fleck; fellow !ddling marvel Alison Krauss; guitarist Carlos Santana – the list goes on.

I am a wife. "ose things are my priorities in life, and I think people get a sense of that – of that part of who I am – through my show.

  • Fiddle Grooves
    Fiddle Grooves: Identity, Representation, and the Sound of Cape Breton Fiddle Music in Popular Culture by Jeffrey James Hennessy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Jeffrey James Hennessy 2008 Abstract Fiddle Grooves: Identity, Representation, and the Sound of Cape Breton Fiddle Music in Popular Culture Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Jeffrey James Hennessy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto This dissertation investigates Cape Breton fiddle music from a popular culture perspective. It introduces a conception of musical groove comprising two interrelated components: a social component wherein individual musical actors retain their own identities and relationships with the music while also uniting collectively in their response to the music, and a sonic component consisting of an acoustical repeating of a rhythmic idea that forms the metrical underpinning for a piece of groove music. Each of these two components is informed and mediated by the other. Cape Breton fiddle music is considered here as a form of groove-based popular music, similar to other groove musics. The two dimensions of the groove are analyzed in turn, revealing aspects of social identity, political and commercial representation, and processes of intercultural syncretism that have resulted in the evolution of the music within the pop culture mainstream. The dissertation is divided into two large sections. The first section concerns the social component of the Cape Breton fiddle groove, considering aspects of cultural representation, social identity, globalization and perceived external threats, and intersections with popular culture. The second section examines the sound of Cape Breton fiddle music as a form of groove-based music by first proposing a general model ii for the analysis of groove-based musics, and then applying the model to the Cape Breton fiddle context.

  • THE PARADOX of the PERIPHERY Evolution of the Cape Breton Fiddle Tradition C1928-1995 Elizabeth Anne Doherty Phd University of L
    THE PARADOX OF THE PERIPHERY Evolution of the Cape Breton Fiddle Tradition c1928-1995 Elizabeth Anne Doherty PhD University of Limerick Supervisor: Professor Micheal O Suilleabhain Submitted to the University of Limerick, May 1996. THE PARADOX OF THE PERIPHERY' EVOLUTION OF THE CAPE BRETON FIDDLE TRADITION c1928-1995 Elizabeth A. Doherty During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries hundreds of Highland Scots traversed the Atlantic Ocean to escape social, politcal, and religious repression or simply in search of better opportunities in the New World. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, became home to many of these emigrants. The vast numbers of Highland Scots who settled in this isolated area successfully maintained much of their Gaelic culture, such as the language, music, song and dance. Ironically, while the old ways were strictly adhered to in the peripheral enclave which was Cape Breton, rapid change was shaping the culture, particularly the music, in the homeland. Under the influence of James Scott Skinner the fiddle music tradition underwent irrevocable changes, separating from the dance, becoming dependent on literate sources, and moving onto the concert platform. As such, Cape Breton may be regarded as a marginal survival, maintaining the old traditions, specifically the 18th Highland fiddle music in a new geographic location, while at the original centre these old traditions were being replaced by the new. With the arrival of the twentieth century, specifically the 1920s, the outside world began to impinge noticeably on Cape Breton. The recording industry, radio, television, travel opportunities, out-migration, the building of the Canso Causeway linking the island to the Nova Scotian mainland were all factors which were significant in stimulating a social and cultural awakening in Cape Breton.

  • Buddy Macmaster (October 18 1924 – August 20 2014) by Jody Stecher
    Remembering Buddy MacMaster (October 18 1924 – August 20 2014) By Jody Stecher It is not unusual for a listener to be moved by the skillful playing of slow airs by a good Scottish fiddler. The only fiddler to make me weep from his playing of reels has passed away. The tears well up again as I remember Buddy MacMaster, a great musician and a great man. When I first started hearing about Buddy in the early 1980s, people said that should Inverness County ever secede from Canada, or Nova Scotia, or from the rest of Cape Breton, Hugh Alan “Buddy” MacMaster would automatically become Premier. Then I heard a fellow get so worked up while hearing a young Cape Breton fiddler play that he just had to yell. He didn’t yell Photo: Mary Larsen “yahoo” or “drive her,” though. He yelled “Buddy MacMaster!” But to really understand his near-mythic stature, consider this: it At the Gaelic College of Celtic Arts & Crafts, Cape Breton, 1996. was said that if you hired him to play at your wedding, Buddy would play at your funeral for free. The implication is that, being Born in Ontario in 1924, Buddy MacMaster was four years old immortal, Buddy would outlive everybody. It was not to be, of when his parents moved the family back to Judique, Cape Bret- course, but that’s how his music affected a listener. on. His father played fiddle, but it was his mother’s singing and lilting to which he especially attributed his love of music. By Buddy balanced all this with soft-spoken dry wit and an unassum- age twelve, Buddy was performing in public, and at fourteen he ing personality.
