Annotation:Reel du goglu
Back to Reel du goglu
REEL DU GOGLU (Goblin's Reel). AKA and see “Captain Corbett's Hornpipe,” “Captain John's Hornpipe," "Duke of Brunswick's Hornpipe (The)," "Mairs Hornpipe," "Quick's Hornpipe.” French-Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The reel was recorded by Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1865-1947) in 1930 for Victor records, and again in 1936, albeit under the pseudonym 'Maxime Toupin'. The goglu is a bird that can be seen on the spot above the fields - the only bird in Quebec that is pale on the top and dark below ... it's also a small dry biscuit famous among us. The reel is a member of a large tune family of British and Irish tunes--see note for "annotation:Captain John's Hornpipe" for more.
