'''VALSE DU COQ.''' French Canadian, Waltz. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'.
|f_annotation='''VALSE DU COQ''' (The Rooster's Waltz). AKA and see "[[Aggie's Mazurka]]/Waltz." French Canadian, Waltz (3/4 time). B Flat Major (Allard): C Major (Carlin). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. [[File:allard.jpg|280px|thumb|left|Joseph Allard (1873-1947)]]See also the related waltz by Irish fiddler Michael Coleman, "[[Men of the West (1)]]." Allard researcher Jean Duval also finds a cognate version played in Ireland as "[[Aggie's Mazurka]]/Waltz," although it was introduced to Irish music by way of a Newfoundland fiddler. Technically, the piece is a mazurka, which typically has either the second beat of the measure accented, or sometimes all three beats getting the same emphasis; waltzes have the emphasis on the first beat of the measure. Listening to Allard's recording confirms all beats get the same emphasis.
