QUADRILLE MONTCALM (Montcalm's Quadrille). AKA and see "Cuisinière (La)," "Quadrille de Montcalm," "Reel dans la Cuisiniere," "Reel du lac]]." French-Canadian, Quadrille (2/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm was the commander of the French forces on Quebec's Plains of Abraham, slain by the English under Wolfe, although it is also the name of a grand hotel in Quebec, near the site of the battle.

"Quadrille Montcalm" was recorded by Quebec fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947) in 1929. The 'cuisinière' titles derive from the reel's inclusion in the influential Quebecois group La Bottine Souriante's set "La cuisinière."
