'''CHÂTEAUGUAY REEL''' (Le Reel de Châteauguay). AKA and see "[[Bull Run Picnic]]," "[[Chatagee Reel]]," "[[Chateau Gai]]," "[[Chateagaie]]," "[[Reel de Châteauguay]]," "[[Reel de la caserne]]," "[[Reel de la flotte]]." French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Carlin, Messer, Miller & Perron): AA'BB' (Cuillerier). The reel is from the repertoire of Québec fiddler Joseph Allard (1873–1947), who recorded it twice; first in in 1928 as "Reel de Châteauguay," and again in 1942 as "[[Reel de la caserne]]." Allard, who worked for much of his life as a fisherman, lived for a time in the United States, where he toured the northeast and was influenced by Irish and Scottish-style fiddlers. He returned to Canada in 1917 and settled near Montréal, later recording for the Victor and Bluebird labels. The reel was also recorded by other influential Québécois fiddlers, including J.O. LaMadeleine (1880-1973) in the same month as Allard in 1929 (also as "Reel de Châteauguay"), and Isidore Soucy, who recorded it in 1927 and again in 1940 (under the title "[[Reel de la flotte]]"). Jean Duval <ref>Jean Duval, '''La Musique de Jospeh Allard 1873-1947''', 2018, p. 69.</ref> notes that the first strain of "Reel de Châteauguay" is derivative of one strain of the 19th century English hornpipe "[[Miss Gayton's Hornpipe]]," although the second strains differ.

CHÂTEAUGUAY REEL (Le Reel de Châteauguay). AKA and see "Bull Run Picnic," "Chatagee Reel," "Chateau Gai," "Chateagaie," "Reel de Châteauguay," "Reel de la caserne," "Reel de la flotte." French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Carlin, Messer, Miller & Perron): AA'BB' (Cuillerier). The reel is from the repertoire of Québec fiddler Joseph Allard (1873–1947), who recorded it twice; first in in 1928 as "Reel de Châteauguay," and again in 1942 as "Reel de la caserne." Allard, who worked for much of his life as a fisherman, lived for a time in the United States, where he toured the northeast and was influenced by Irish and Scottish-style fiddlers. He returned to Canada in 1917 and settled near Montréal, later recording for the Victor and Bluebird labels. The reel was also recorded by other influential Québécois fiddlers, including J.O. LaMadeleine (1880-1973) in the same month as Allard in 1929 (also as "Reel de Châteauguay"), and Isidore Soucy, who recorded it in 1927 and again in 1940 (under the title "Reel de la flotte"). Jean Duval [1] notes that the first strain of "Reel de Châteauguay" is derivative of one strain of the 19th century English hornpipe "Miss Gayton's Hornpipe," although the second strains differ.

The tune was collected in the American Midwest by R.P. Christeson as an untitled reel (a Virginia-born friend told him the title was "Bull Run Picnic").
