GALOPPE A BOM PIT. French-Canadian, Galope (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A. "Galoppe a Bom Pit" is from the Verret family of Lac-Saint-Charles, Quebec, four generations of remarkable musicians. The source for the tune is 'Pit Jornoch', a nickname for a fiddler and woodcutter from the next Parish named Pierre Verret (no relation), a friend of accordion player Jean-Baptiste Verret (1894-1955). Jean-Marie Verret, who recorded an album of Pit Jornoch's tunes, is Jean-Baptiste's grandson. Jean-Marie recalled his father, fiddler Jules Verret (who took tutelage and repertory from Pit Jornoch as a boy):
“My father always considered him to be the greatest fiddler he had ever heard in his life. I was told that Pierre Verret learned his repertoire and style from Charlot Parent from Charlesbourg, which is a few kilometers southeast [ed. of Lac St-Charles], and at the time just a village. [1]
"La galope" is traditionally the fifth movement of the six-part quadrille in Québec[2].
