DISPUTEUSE, LA. French-Canadian, Reel (cut and 3/2 time). A Dorian/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A version of a tune better-known as "Growling Old Man and Grumbling Old Woman (The)," at least in the United States. There is a category of tunes in Quebec that purport to mimic a dispute between a man and woman (often characterized as the arguments of a man and wife), including "Chicaneuse (La)," "Chicanière (La)," and "Bavasseuse (La)." The juxtaposition of high and low strains in binary tunes and the resultant association to two people having a disagreement is an old one, however, and can be found in other, English-speaking, genres. Allard researcher Jean Duval points to the venerable "Arkansas Traveler (The)" as one example[1].
