REEL DE MONTRÉAL [1]. AKA - "Reel de Sherbrooke (2)," "Reel de Vaudreuil," "Set de Vaudreuil 3ème partie," "Sherbrooke Reel." French-Canadian, New England; Reel (cut time). G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Miller & Perron): AA’BB’ (Songer). Montreal fiddler Jospeh Allard (1873-1947) recorded the tune in 1930 as "Set de Vaudreuil 3ème partie," as part of a suite of country dances, with figures voiced by a caller on the recording. Montreal fiddler J.O. LaMadeleine (1880-1973) recorded the tune for Starr Records in 1937 as "Reel de Vaudreuil." In 1945 accordion player Gaston Dufresne recorded the tune under the title "Reel de Sherbrooke (2)." The British hornpipe "Navvy/Navvie on the Line", attributed to early 19th century Tyneside fiddler James Hill, is cognate in the first strain, as is "London Hornpipe." Tunes by the name "Reel de Montréal" were recorded by harmonica great Henri Lacroix (1895-c. 1962) in 1928, and Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard in 1930; however Allard's reel by this title is a different tune (for which see "Reel de Montréal (2)." Carmelle Bégin, in notes to his volume on the tunes of mid-20th century fiddler Jean Carignan (a student of Allard's) that "Reel de Montreal (1)" was played in the dance halls ^[1] with foot tapping in the 1930's ^[2]
