REEL DE/DU PÊCHEUR (Fisherman's Reel). AKA and see "Reel de la paix ," "Reel de la Pointe Blue," "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.

See Canadian Journal for Traditional Music (1980), "Le Processus de Composition Dans La Musique Instrumental du Québec," by Jean-Pierre Joyal [1]. See also the version by Gaspé fiddler Erskine Morris [2], who played the tune in AEae tuning.
