Quebecois Reel

I learned this simple but infectious reel from the playing of Kerry Elkin and then later from Lisa Ornstein. I’ve never heard an Irish or Scottish version of it. Is it a truly indigenous Quebec tune?

Lisa Ornstein plays the last measure of each part as |BdBG G2 :| which has a certain all-tonic charm when played up to speed.

This is another Ned Landry tune

He’s an especially prolific New Brunswick composer. He also wrote Bowing the Strings and Woodchopper’s.

Re: Celina

There may be some confusion here. Ned Landry did indeed compose a tune named Celina (named for his first wife). See it played by Ivan Hicks, who was a friend of Landry’s:

The tune given here, also called Gigue à Célina, is from the playing of Louis “Pitou” Boudreault (Lisa Ornstein wrote a Master’s thesis on him and his music). Boudreault often named tunes after his relatives; I believe Célina was an aunt.
