REEL DES LIÈVRES, LE (The Hares' Reel). French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Researcher Jean Duval notes that Boucher's "Reel des lièvres" is a composite tune, with the first strain that of "Londonderry Hornpipe (The)" and the second strain that of "Champion Hornpipe (The)." Boucher's reel should not be confused with the similarly titled "Reel du lièvre (Le)," a musically unrelated tune.
