REEL DE/DU PÊCHEUR (Fisherman's Reel). AKA and see "Reel de la paix ," "Set de Vaudreuil 4ème partie." French-Canadian, Reel. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A Québécois variant of “Democratic Rage Hornpipe” (Ryan's Mammoth Collection, 1883) by Lachine, Québec, fiddler Joseph Allard (1865-1947), who taught the tune to a young Jean Carignan, the famous Montreal fiddler. Allard recorded the tune in 1928 as "Reel du Pêcheur", and again in 1945 under the title "Reel de la paix." Allard also recorded another version of the reel, set in the key of 'G' for Victor Records in 1930 as "Set de Vaudreuil 4ème partie," one of a suite of country dance melodies.
