BAPTISTE À NED. AKA - "Baptiste à Ned en G," "Belle Gigue," "Belle Gigue à Baptiste." French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). Canada, New Brunswick. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Baptiste à Ned" is one of the untitled tunes the elderly fiddler taught to New Brunswick fiddler Robert Lavoie. Lavoie suspects the tune was originally Irish, based on melodic character and structure. The tune is also in the repertory of Acadian fiddler Claude Austin.
