Fiddle Faddle (musical composition)

Fiddle-Faddle is a musical composition in 2/2 time composed by Leroy Anderson.

Arthur Fiedler gave the composition its premiere on March 30, 1947 during a concert radio broadcast from the old Boston Opera House.

The finished piece instantly became a favorite of audiences and Arthur Fiedler alike.

Written in classic "song-and-trio" form, it is based on the childhood nursery song "Three Blind Mice".

As implied by the title the piece features the violins prominently with repeated semiquavers continued with pizzicato in what's seen as the Trio section.
