CONTREDANSE [2], LA. AKA - "Contredanse à Pitou (La)," "Reel Malouin." French-Canadian, Reel. Canada, Québec. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. A 'crooked' tune. "La contredanse" is a specific dance associated with the Sanguenay region of Québec, however, versions of the tune are known in several regions in the province. The title comes from the English term 'country dance.' Theme coding is complicated by the fact that the first measure of the B part is in 6/4 time while the second is in 4/4 time.
