Revision as of 16:37, 15 September 2019

GIGUE/REEL DU VIOLONEUX. French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The jig is a derivative of the 19th century American song and jig "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines." Fiddler Joseph Allard [1] [2] (1873-1947) recorded the tune in 1929 for the Victor label (issued under the title "Le reel du violoneux," not 'gigue'), which he had, according to Carmelle Bégin (1978) learned from his father, "Tenfant" Allard. Allard's recording was re-recorded or re-issued in 1937. Allard researcher Jean Duval says the melody is strongly associated with the dance Capitaine Voleur.
