QUADRILLE FRANCO-AMÉRICAIN FIG. 5. French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). Researcher Jean Duval finds "Quadrille Franco-American fig. 5" to be a version of the Irish jig "Girls of Banbridge (The)." He notes that Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard also recorded a version of the tune, albeit somewhat dissimilar to La Madeleine's version, in April, 1928 as "Reel du berger" and again in December, 1936, as "Reel des parishiens." Duval also suspects that this piece served as inspiration to La Madeleine's later composition "Manon," composed in for his granddaughter of that name who was born in 1967.
