Composed by French-Canadian button-accordionist Philippe Bruneau for the celebrated violinist Joseph Bouchard (Pointe-au-Pic, Québec), whose recordings, beginning in 1938, influenced a generation of French-Canadian fiddlers. Fiddler Pascal Gemme (of the group Genticorum) remarks that the melody is in Galoppe form, meaning that each part is twice the usual length of a tune-16 bars, rather than 8.
