SET AMÉRICAIN 2ÈME PARTIE (Set Americain, Second Part). AKA and see "Chamberlain Reel (The)," "Reel de l'hôtelier," French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBB. The tune was recorded by Montreal fiddler Isidore Soucy in October, 1925 (released y the Starr label in January, 1926). Soucy repeats the AABBB form for three times through the tune, but on the fourth repetition, after the 'A' part, he introduces a 'C' part--the first strain of the tune called "Glise à Sherbrooke"/Reel de Taddoussac (1)", which is then dropped until the very end of the tune where it is the finishing strain. Duval (2017) records the reputations as "ABABAB AC ABASB AC." Soucy later re-recorded the tune in 1930 as the 5th figure of his “Quadrille des Laurentides” (Star 15737A). See notes under the alternate titles for more on this well-known reel.
