REEL DE NAPOLÉON [2]. AKA and see "Reel des cols rouges." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. "Reel de Napoléon (2)" was recorded in 1936, a year before Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard recorded his own "Reel de Napoléon (1)," a different tune. However, researcher Jean Duval ^[1] finds that in 1933 Allard recorded a version of Soucy's "Reel de Napoléon (2)" under the title "Reel des cols rouges" (Red Collar Reel). Soucy later used some of the same melodic material for his "Reel de ma puipoule" (1936). Duval also suggests compares with Soucy's "Zwyska", from the collection of J.A. Boucher (1933).
