REEL VIELLE ESSENCE (Old Essence Reel). French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'CC'. Boucher researcher Jean Duval finds the reel is cognate with the Scottish "Lord Moria." Curiously, however, the first (and most distinctive) strain of "Lord Moira" is absent from Boucher's reel. Instead, Duval finds the second and third strains of the Scottish reel form the first and second strains of Boucher's tune.
