GIGUE DU BARBIER. AKA and see "Belfast Hornpipe (2)," "Hornpipe (116)." French-Canadian, Schottische (cut time). G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was recorded in Montreal in 1929 by fiddler Arthur-Joseph ("A.J.") Boulay, accompanied by an uncredited pianist and Jew's harp player. The title on the label is spelled "Jigue du barber," obviously an Anglophone mistake no one picked up before release. The tune was also recorded by Jean Carignan on his "Rend Hommage à Joseph Allard" album (track A5a) as "Sans nom" (Without name)[1]. "Gigue du barbier" can be found in an almost identical version as an untitled "Hornpipe (116)" in Kerr's Merry Melodies vol. 1 (Glasgow, c. 1880, No. 14, p. 44). Both tunes are versions of "Belfast Hornpipe (2)."
