RONDE DES VOYAGEURS (Travelers’ round dance). French-Canadian, Reel. A Minor (‘A’ part) & A Major (‘B’ part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA’BB’: ABABCABA (Duval). The voyageurs/travelers of the title echoes the intrepid fur traders of early Canada, but, as Jean Duval points out, it probably more directly referred to the constant journeying of Québec City traveling salesman and fiddler Fortunat Malouin (1870-1935) as he made his sales rounds. The tune was recorded in New York in 1928 by Malouin who was originally from Saint-Sauveur, Québec, but who lived most of his life in Québec City. The tune was published in 1933 by J.A. Boucher, but with an added fourth part, a variation of the second strain.
