CHAMPAGNE CLOG (Clog de Champagne). AKA and see "Clog de William Durette" (William Durette's Clog). French-Canadian, Clog. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The tune may have been inspired by the "Champagne Dance" in the three-act Edwardian musical comedy Quaker Girl by James T. Tanner (book), Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank (lyrics) and Lionel Monkton (music). It opened in London in 1910 and proved popular, with shows reproduced in North American and Australia in the next few years. The story-line tells of Prudance, a young Quaker woman, ousted from the family home after she is caught drinking a glass of champagne. She eventually makes her way to Paris, where her grey dress and bonnet become the latest fashion craze. Much of the story's comedy comes from contrasting the dour Quaker morality with Parisian high society. The original production and all later revivals featured a "Champagne Dance" in the final act.
