Back to Pays de Haut

PAYS DE HAUT (High Country). AKA – "Winipeg (The)." French-Canadian, New England; Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title translates as "high country" or "upper country" and refers to the watershed territories of the Great Lakes (excluding Lake Ontario), but including part of what would later be United States territory. This was called Upper Canada, as opposed to the eastern administrative region of Lower Canada. Montreal cab driver and violin virtuoso Jean Carignan recorded the tune in 1960 as "Winnipeg Reel"; the tune's provenance is identified as "Western Canada" in the notes to the tunes. Manitoba fiddler Andy Dejarlis also recorded it on "Centennial Album" as "Winnipeg Reel."
