REEL AMÉRICAIN [1]. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Soucy researcher Jean Duval[1] suggests Soucy's "Reel américain (1)" is "a particularly asymmetrical version of the Londonderry Hornpipe" and points out that the fourth part of Francis O'Neill's version of "Londonderry Hornpipe (The)" corresponds the the first strain of Soucy's tune. Duval also notes Soucy's version is quite close to J.A. Boucher's (1933) "Reel des lièvres (Le)."
