REEL A ARISTIDE. French-Canadian, Reel (whole or cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Reel a Aristide" is sourced to fiddler Bertrand Déraspe, Îles de la Madelaine (Magdalen Islands), Bay of the St. Lawrence. According to Jacques Denis “when Bertand delivered his lobsters to Rivière-au-Renard, he always went to visit the Denis family in Petit-Cap. This is where he likely learned this reel” (Guy Bouchard and Mathieu Fournier, liner notes to "Airs piqués" CD, p. 6).
