Cinq Jumelles (Les)

CINQ JUMELLES, LES (The Five Twin Sisters). AKA and see "Dionne Reel." French-Canadian, Reel. D Major (Parts A, B, D and E) & G Major (Part C). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEE or AABBAABBCCDDEE. All parts are four measures long with the exception of part 'D' which is eight measures. Lisa Ornstein says the tune is a mixture of familiar strains from other tunes with some original material.

Recorded source: Star 15891 (78 RPM), Joseph Ovila LaMadeleine (1879-1973. Recorded August, 1934, some three months after the births of Dionne quintuplets Emilie, Yvonne, Cecil, Marie, and Annette in Callander, Ontario).
