Back to Reel de Carillon
REEL DE CARILLON (The Nightingale). AKA and see "Reel Maisonneuve." French-Canadian, Reel. From the repertoire of fiddler Joseph Larocque, who recorded it in Montreal in 1931 as the second tune in a medley (following "Rossignol (Le)". Both tunes are still played singly and together, sometimes with the two strains of "Le Rossignol" followed by the first strain of "Reel de Carillon". Jean Carignan also played a version of this tune, which appears on the album "The Folk Fiddler who Electrified the Newport Folk Festival" (Elektra ELK-266, 1964) as "Nightingale (7) (The)." See also Joseph Allard's version under the title "Reel de Carillon."
