REEL DU JUBILÉ. AKA and see "L’homme à deux femmes." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major/Mixolydian. AEae tuning (fiddle). ABB. The tune is 'crooked', or irregular, with ten measures in the first strain and nine measures in the second; the second strain also has a few measures in 3/2 time. Soucy researcher Jean Duval remarks that the piece was named for the Diamond Jubilee of the Canadian Confederation, sixty years old in July, 1927. See also Andre Alain's "L’homme à deux femmes." Soucy himself later recorded another version of the tune as "Gigue du cyclone" in 1954, notes Duval, who also finds the first strain of Soucy's "Set américain - 3ème partie" cognate with the second strain of "Reel du jubilé."
