GIGUE DU FORGERON (Blacksmith's Dance). AKA and see "Reel du Forgeron." French-Canadian, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Recorded by Québec fiddler Joseph Allard [1] [2] in 1937. See also the closely related "Doc Boyd's Jig," a 1933 composition by Ontario fiddler John Burt, of which "Gigue du Forgeron" may be a derivative. A gigue in Québec is a stepdance, and the name attached to a tune simply means a vehicle for stepdancing, no matter what the meter.
Source for notated version: Joseph Allard (1873-1947, Woodland, Montréal, Québec) [Cuillerier, Hart & Sandell].
Printed sources: Cuillerier (Joseph Allard), 1992; p. 9. Hart & Sandell (Dance ce Soir), 2001; No. 12, pp. 45-46.
Recorded sources: Bluebird B-1104-a (78 RPM), Joseph Allard (1937).
