MARCH [45]. AKA and see "British Grenadiers (1) (The)." Canadian, March (cut time). A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). ABA'BA'B. Researcher and fiddler Anne Lederman collected this untitled march, a version of "British Grenadiers (1) (The)," from the playing of Métis fiddler Grandy Fagnon (1902-1986) of Camperville, Manitoba, whom she recorded in the mid-1980's. She categorized it as one of the 'Devil' tunes in his repertory, and, although Fagnan himself did not voice such an association, Lederman notes that fiddle tunes in AEae and AEac# tunings were known in other Métis communities to have that association. She writes:
Laurence Flett of [the Métis community of] Ebb and Flow says his grandfather used to tell him “Don’t play those things. . . If you ever play them, he said, the devil will walk in and take the fiddle off you, and maybe you’ll never, ever play a tune again.”
Lederman notes a march was usually played for the 2nd Change in regional square dances.
