QUADRILLE DE BEAUHARNOIS. AKA and see "Gigue des touristes (1)." French-Canadian, Jig or Quadrille. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig if from the playing of Quebec fiddler Jospeh Allard (1873-1947), recorded for Victor in Montreal, Canada, in June, 1929. Allard re-recorded the tune in 1936, issued under the pseudonym "Maxime Toupin." The 'A' part of this melody resembles O'Neill's "Miss Blair’s Fancy," but there are not enough similarities to establish a direct association. Allard researcher Jean Duval also compares the tune Cape Breton composer Dan R. Macdonald's "Chanter Jig (The)." As per m. Duval's comment below, compare also with "Lasses of Limerick (2)," published by John Walsh in London in 1754 (or 1756 -- dates vary), which he suggests is an ancestral melody. The first strains of the tunes are quite similar. The second strains are somewhat less so, and although there are some identical three-note sequences, the harmonic structure and the melodic contour of the last for measures of the second strain do not correspond. However, the overall similarity between the two tunes is compelling.
