REEL SAINT-MICHEL. French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. Joyal's source, Edouard Giroux, was a Québec fiddler who played in an Irish style and whose playing reflected a nineteenth century repertoire since he was born in 1865. He recorded this piece (which plays like a fling) on a cylinder disk in 1918. Editor Joyal believes the melody to be Irish in origin and notes a similarity with the reel "Dillon Brown (1)" (parts reversed) printed in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (1907).
