Back to Valcartier Set Part One

VALCARTIER SET (Part One). French Canadian, Quadrille. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBAA'BB'. The melody is the first part of a six part quadrille, known in Valcartier ("a rural community north of Québec City which was settled primarily by Irish and Scottish immigrants") as "the set." The source for the tune (Corrigan) learned the tune from two different relatives, each of whom had a separate 'B' part.

Source for notated version: accordion player Keith Corrigan (Valcartier & Sainte Foy, Québec) via Lisa Ornstein & Denis Pepin [Reiner & Anick].

Printed sources: Reiner & Anick (Old Time Fiddling Across America), 1989; p. 63.
