VIEUX QUÉBEC, LE. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABAC ABADC AB ADCA finale. "Le vieux Québec" (The Old Quebec") is a four-part reel perhaps composed by Québec City fiddler Fortunat Malouin, who recorded the tune in New York in 1928. Reseacher Jean Duval finds that the opening melodic motif of the reel is the same as that of "Echoes from Forest Garden" in William Bradbury Ryan's Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
