Back to Valse Philippe
VALSE PHILIPPE. AKA and see "Hommage à Philippe Bruneau," "Valse Americain (La)." French-Canadian, Waltz. G Major ('A' part) & E Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Composed with the melodeon in mind by Gilles Losier(of New Brunswick, and Montréal, Québec) as a tribute to Philippe Bruneau (1934-2011). Losier prefers his own title, "La Valse à Philippe," for the tune, although the name "Hommage à Philippe Bruneau" seems to enjoy considerable currency (and is also used for a better-known tune composed by accordion player Guy Loyer, Hommage à Philippe Bruneau (2)). On Losier's 1984 recording there were words to the tune by Leonard Forest that employed old Acadian French. Matthiesen (1995) says the tune has surfaced in France as "Valse Americain (La)."
