RÊVE DU DIABLE [1], LE. AKA and see "Devil's Dream (1)," "Reel du Diable." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC'DD'EE'FF'GGHHII (Boucher): ABACADAEA FGHI finale (Malouin). "Rêve du diable" was recorded in New York city in 1928 by Québec City fiddler and traveling salesman Fortunat Malouin (1870-1935). It is a version of the well-known and widespread British reel "Devil's Dream (1)" which is itself a derivative of the Scottish dance tune "Devil Among the Tailors (1) (The)." Malouin's version is his own and includes a number of variation sets. The reel, in nine parts, was also printed in J.A. Boucher's rare printed volume Le Répertoire du Violoneux (1933). Researcher Jean Duval points out that Parts F and I are quite close to parts 'A' and 'B' of Jos Bouchard's popular "Reel St-Antoine," and speculates that Bouchard's tune may have been based on them. Both Malouin's and Boucher's variation sets differ from those found in British versions.
