PLEUREUSE, LA (The Weeper). French-Canadian (cut and 3/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABAAB'A'C. Soucy researcher Jean Duval finds the piece related to Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard's "Reel de Cabano," and to a piece in the repertoire of Saguenay fiddler William Gagnon (see "William Gagnon Tune)[1].
