SET AMÉRICAIN 2ÈME PARTIE. AKA and see "Breakdown de Neufchâtel," "Clog en Fa (Boucher)," "Fancy Clog Hornpipe," "Reel St. Jean," "Remontée au chantier (La)," "Sautillante (La)," "Virginia Hornpipe (1)." French-Canadian, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). D Major ('A' part) & B Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This is the tune that is popular in contra-dance and Quebecois sessions with the paired-down title "Set américain." It was recorded in 1945 by Quebec City accordion player biography:Théodore Duguay (1904-1950), and was one of only a couple of recordings he made.
A version of the melody can be found in J.A. Boucher's Le Répertoire du Violoneux[1] (Montreal, 1933, No. 7) under the title "Clog en Fa (Boucher)." Boucher's version is set in dotted clog/hornpipe rhythm, and researcher Jean Duval notes that there is every indication that the tune was originally played in Quebec in the keys of F Major/D Minor, as in Boucher's collection. This was also the key employed by Montreal fiddler biography:Isidore_Soucy who recorded a 'crooked' or irregular version of the melody in 1927 under the title "Sautillante (La)" (Starr 15338a).
