A still from a movie about Aurore Gagnon.REEL DE L'ENFANT MARTYRE (Reel of the Martyred Child). French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABBAACCDD. Soucy researcher Jean Duval records that the title refers to Marie-Aurore-Lucienne "Aurore" Gagnon [1] (1909-1920), a ten-year-old girl who died in Fortierville (Center-du-Québec region) in 1920 following horrific mistreatment by her stepmother[1] and father. Her death was widely reported and decried in Quebec, and Aurore's story was portrayed in books, on stage and in at least two films. Duval also finds J.A. Boucher's "Gigue Double" (1933) to be a similar piece[2].
