Tune properties and standard notation
CARNIVAL. AKA - "Carnaval." French-Canadian, Reel. E Minor/G Major (third part) {Bouchard/Marcoux}: B Minor/D Major {Hart & Sandell}. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCC (Hart & Sandell): AABBCC (Marcoux). The tune has harmonic and chordal similarities with "Reel Beatrice." The original source for the tune was fiddler Joseph Bouchard (1905-1980), an important figure in Québec musical tradition, and a member of the group Les Montagnards laurentins (The Laurentian Mountaineers - the Laurentians are a range of mountains in the Province of Québec), who had a long-running radio broadcast in the 1930's and 1940's.
Sources for notated versions: French-Canadian fiddler Omer Marcoux (who later in life lived in Concord, N.H.) who learned the tune from Bouchard's Bluebird recording [Miskoe & Paul]; fiddler Michel Bordleau [Hart & Sandell].
Printed sources: Hart & Sandell (Dance ce Soir), 2001; No. 23, pp. 54-55. Miskoe & Paul (Omer Marcoux), 1994; p. 3.
