Back to Reel St-Siméon

REEL ST-SIMÉON. AKA and see "Ronfleuse Gobeil." AKA - "Saint-Siméon (1)." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBCC'. From the repertory of fiddler Jos (Joe) Bouchard who recorded the reel as "Reel St-Siméon."

The tune, however, was originally composed by Willie Ringuette (1898-1969, Trois-Rivieres, Québec) , who recorded it in 1927 (Columbia 34109-F [1]) and passed it on to his violin student, Jean Carignan. Carignan's recording of "Ronfleuse Gobiel" helped to popularize the tune with that title. The third part of "Reel St-Siméon" is a variant of the second strain of the Irish reel "Maid Behind the Bar (1) (The)."

Saint-Siméon, Charlevoix-Est, is a town on the St. Lawrence River.
