Music reviews of Fit As a Fiddle
Music Review: Heavenly music that sounds like the best day of your life
Rating: 5 Stars
I give "Fit as a Fiddle" 5 stars only because the system won't let me give it a million stars. Here's some perfect music to brighten your life. As most tracks are composed of 3 or more melodies, I will describe them by number. My descriptions are from images that appear in my mind as I listen to the music. I'd like to share these apparitions with you, so you can have as much fun as I do when listening to "Fit as a Fiddle". On set 1, Natalie plays around with a simple little tune. Soon your toes start moving to the lively beat. She picks up the pace and you're clapping your hands to keep time. This music's just for fun,you find yourself on your feet tapping out a little rigadoon. Now she's caught your interest. The second set makes you feel young again,like a little kid on a swing on a Spring day. There's a strong Celtic flair to this one. Natalie has you back in the Old Country now, making music with friends in the parlor. On set 3 Natalie plays pretty and delightful and opens with that old tune right out of the pot of gold. Who makes music more beautiful than this? She drifts gracefully from one melody to another,you don't know whether to laugh or dance,what a sprite! Though I favor the lively music, I find the slow air on track 4 compelling and lovely. On set 5 Jack Rabbit jumps right out of Natalie's fiddle.He's out on the field,looking this way and that,trying to find some fun. There he goes,catch him if you can. Over the hill runs the hare looking for rainbows and flower gardens. Set 6 starts with a slow and pensive air. I picture a girl gazing over the ocean from a coastal cliff. She wonders if she'll ever find her true love. In her reverie an angel whispers in her ear, "He will be there". "You were with him before time. You will be one with him in another place,another time. Your soulmate is at the end of your music trail." Out of nowhere she has peace of mind and a heart full of love. From reverie to daydream, now she sees an ancient sage, The Old Man in the Woods. " Where is my partner", she inquires politely. He replies with a smile,"There's The King only you deserve. I know". He nods at a bright young man at his side. " Go right over and give him a great big kiss and you will be blessed with ageless love forever...and such children".... This tune is so pretty and cheery, you want it to go on to eternity, here's music to set the whole world smiling and dancing. On track 7 we are treated to the sound of Natalie's incredible step dance tapping an introduction to a lively reel. You'll just love the way she changes gears and tempos here. Track 8 is an air with a deep flavor. It goes down in your soul to touch your inner being. On set 9 you see a Cape Breton Housewife on a farm. She's hanging out clothes to dry on the line listening to "Fit as a Fiddle." But the day is so fine,she can't keep her feet from moving. Soon she's reeling on the hillside, doing her own little dance of love and joy to the blue sky and life. From Natalie's music on set 10 I see a young man out on the town. He just hit the lottery and wants the world to know. Down to the town square he strolls and tosses a gold coin to the fiddler. "Play us a tune to dance to,lass. Now we'll have some fun." Set 11 starts bright and shiny like a summer day. Then Natalie has fun and picks up the pace. Oh she justs makes you want to leap up and dance. This is The Music of The Leprechauns, spry and lively a tune as the world ever heard. Track 12 is a wistful air that touches on the sad side,but finds some hope there. Set 13 sends your spirit off to the land of no troubles, slows down for a moment then explodes with delight. It takes off like Natalie's on her way to light speed....oh too brief... Well if pure dark amber maple syrup had a sound, it would be the sound of Natalie's fiddle. Buy this CD and You'll have a lifetime of beautiful listening that makes you smile and get up and go.I am in wonder of Natalie MacMaster's musical talent and great ear for a tune
