ROARING RIVER [2]. American, Reel (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Solomon Northup [1], an African-American fiddler and carpenter originally from Saratoga, New York State. Northup was tricked into going to Baltimore to play for a circus, but was captured and sold into slavery. He had a variety of masters and endured a various conditions and treatment/mistreatment, including during time on several Louisiana plantations. "Roaring River" is transcribed and appears in Northup's book Twelve Years a Slave (1853). He was, for a time, responsible for timber cutting and extraction on a river; perhaps his "Roaring River" was inspired this experience.
