LE RÉVEILLON (New Year's Eve). French-Canadian, Jig or Quadrille (6/8 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Each strain is 15 measures long, and each is repeated. Researcher Jean Duval notes that the tune was simply called "Gigue" in Boucher's unpublished 1927 collection, the precursor to his published 1933 volume (of which only two copies survive). Boucher himself recorded the tune, a faithful rendering of the 1933 notation, according to Duval.
