		In the Quebec City region, the melody for a "square set" will often be the single jig type, while that which accompanies the first part of a "set" in the Beauce, Richelieu and Eastern Townships will always be of the double jig type.
		Although this link is not that obvious in the Quebec repertoire, it no less remains that this style of music is reminiscent of that which was listened to drawing-rooms of all large cities in the western world during the 19th century.
		Some of the theorical definitions are do not concern most traditional musicians and the questionings on the origins of the reel are a problem best left to musicologists, and in the same way is not surprising to occasionally note irregularities in the nomenclature that is used by traditional musicians.

	Instrumental Folk Music of Quebec: An Introduction
		A possible and probable contributing element is the fact that the music, instrumentation, and choreography of these dances (the polkas, galops, schottisches, mazurkas and etc., which called for couples rather than group formations) resemble less and less those of the earlier popular genres.
		Dancers and musicians disperse, old recreations give way to modern entertainments, and the values and activities formerly associated with instrumental folk music survive only among the families and communities who preserve the old ways of living.
		The refashioning into "reels," and the tendency to lengthen out the first and third eighth note of each three-note group at the expense of the second eighth note are two fairly widespread practices associated with the 6/8 form, at least in the repertoires of some players of past generations.

		Last year’s David Daniels tour was the first, and the Quebec City concert became possible because she formed a collaboration between Les Violons du Roy, the Club Musical and the Grand Théâtre, each taking a different responsibility.

	Amalgam(e)
		Releases like this occupy their own little niche; neither complete statements by an artist or group, nor taken from festivals to provide listeners with the essence of the event, they serve as a "this is who we are" type of mission statement.
		Beginning at the beginning with a humorous pre-song dialogue among musicians that culminates in what could be a Red Toucan motto, "check your hang-ups at the door", Charles Pappasoff's "Serious" is both reminiscent of "Lonely Woman" and a driving beast of a tune with the ever-resourceful Pheeroan Aklaff in the engine room.
		It is all the more impressive when one considers the fact that the initial impetus was to document musicians from Quebec.
