MADAME RENAUD. AKA and see "Reel de Madame Renaud/Reel de Madame Renault/Reel de Mme. Renault," "Reel St-Émile," "Mrs. Renault's Reel," "Reel princesse," "Reel du bon vieux temps." French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The tune is related to the Scots melody "Bob of Fettercairn (The)" and the American old-time tune "Humphrey's Jig (1)," finds Lisa Ornstein. It also appears derivative of "Lord Gordon's Reel," and, finally, it may be a derivative or offshoot of the Irish "Copperplate (1) (The)" (itself probably an adaptation of the Scottish "Cabar Féidh"). Three prolific Quebec fiddlers, Isidore Sourcy, J.O. La Madeleine, and Joseph Allard, all recorded versions of the tune in 1928, although under different titles: Allard's was "Reel de Mme. Renault" (Victor 263531-B), La Madelienie's was "Reel princesse" (Starr 15394-B), and Soucy's was "Reel du bon viex temps" (with strains reversed). A decade later fiddler Jos Bouchard recorded a version of the reel under the title "Reel St-Émile" (1938). J.O. LaMadeleine's "Reel du réveillon," recorded in late 1939 and released in early 1940 is a more distanced member of this tune family.

See also the related "Reel de prosper" by Soucy and J.A. Boucher's "Rimouski (Le)", also adaptations of "Bob of Fettercairn (The)."
