Back to Maple Leaf Two-Step
MAPLE LEAF TWO-STEP. Canadian, Two-Step or March (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Canadian fiddler Ward Allen [1] (1924-1965).
"Maple Leaf Two-Step" is Allen's first recording, a 78 RPM recorded in 1953 on Alvina AL-1001, with "C.N.E. Breakdown" on the flip side. When the recording was later reissued on Sparton 131R, the labels reversed, and "Maple Leaf Two-Step" was listed as "C.N.E. Breakdown." Similarly, on Allen's Ward's LP record, "Maple Leaf Hoedown" (Sparton SP 203), the tune labeled "C.N.E. Breakdown" is actually "Maple Leaf Two-Step." Don Messer recorded both tunes on a 45 RPM disc with his band the Islanders.
There was an earlier "Maple Leaf Two-Step" composed in 1895 by Frank W. Cole, unrelated to Allen's tune.
