SARATOGA LANCIERS FIGURE 4. French-Canadian, Quadrille and Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The "Saratoga Lanciers Figure 4," recorded by Lucien Roussin in 1929, is cognate with the "Bank of Turf (1) (The)" family of tunes, finds researcher Jean Duval, who believes the genesis of this tune family was in 19th century quadrille sets. Additional Irish members of this family include "First Cousin of the Gallant Tipperary Boys (The)," "Pádraig O’Keeffe’s Slide (2)," and "Tom Billy's Reel (4)."
