GIGUE IRLANDAISES [1]. AKA - "Gigue irlandaises No. 1." French-Canadian, Reel(s) (cut and 3/2 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). . "Gigue irlandaises No. 1" and "Gigue irlandaises No. 2" were the first two tunes ever recorded by prolific Montreal fiddle-master and recording artist Isidore Soucy (1899-1963). The definitive Soucy researcher Jean Duval finds Soucy's tune to be a medley consisting of versions of three Irish reels: "Molly Bawn's (2)/Molly Bán (3)," "Wild Irishman (2)/Flowing Bowl (1) (The)", and "Mountain Hornpipe (1) (The)"[1].
