GIGUE À PROSPER. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. "Gigue à Prosper" is from the Verret family of Lac-Saint-Charles, Quebec, four generations of remarkable musicians. The source for the tune is perhaps 'Pit Jornoch', a nickname for a fiddler and woodcutter named Pierre Verret (no relation), a friend from the next Parish of accordion player Jean-Baptiste Verret (1894-1955), the scion of the musical family. Jean-Marie Verret, who recorded an album of Pit Jornoch's tunes, is Jean-Baptiste's grandson. He recalled:
My father [fiddler Jules Verret] always considered him to be the greatest fiddler he had ever heard in his life. I was told that Pierre Verret learned his repertoire and style from Charlot Parent from Charlesbourg, which is a few kilometers southeast [of Lac St-Charles], and at the time just a village.[1]
