SET D'EN BAS DE QUÉBEC (deuxieme partie). AKA and see "Reel du Petit-Minou." French-Canadian, Reel. A Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & E Major ('C' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC'. This tune, recorded by Montreal fiddler Isidore Soucy (1899-1962), though a reel, is rhythmically very similar to a polka. See also Montreal fiddler Jean Carignan's "Reel de Portneuf" which uses melodic material from Soucy's tune. Soucy own “Reel du Petit-Minou”, recorded by him over twenty years later, shares the first strain with his “Set d’en bas de Québec.”
