"Dance de Chez Nous" / "Aunt Mary's Canadian Jig" / "Neil Taylor's Jig"
Alias "The Canadian Jig Set"... This was one of the sets of jigs "The Shepherds" used to play, Willy Taylor on fiddle, Joe Hutton on Northumbrian smallpipes & Will Atkinson on harmonica. Unfortunately it is one track I don't have so I haven't been able to transcribe direct from their playing for this particular tune, the first in the set. That means you get it slighly affected by my take on things, but I've tried to be conservative. For balance I will follow with other transcriptions of the melody...
"Dance de Chez Nous" is also played in the key of A Major...

Danse caree, deuxieme partie
Another name for this lovely gigue! I know, there are a lot of square dances in Quebec, and this is part of one ot them. I like your taste in music.
# Posted on March 27th 2007 by vonnieestes
Great, I love it, thanks for the addition vonnieestes, always welcome. I love les carré Quebecois. We just need at least a few more usuals to come on board, and I'm hoping one of them will add the ABC's for Philippe Bruneau's excellent but turned around way with it, 'BBAA', another who plays it in G...

"Quadrilles Quebecois"!

Danse caree, deuxieme partie = square dance, second part (figure)

Danse c'est bon ~ c'est bon temps!!!
For anyone who may come across this and not know, in Quebec, as in the rest of the Canadian Maritimes and beyond, which includes the islands of Isles de la Madeleine, Prince Edward, Cape Breton and Newfoundland ~ the quadrilles are part of the tradition, as they are in Eire, where they are mostly referred to as 'sets', from the older full phrase "set of quadrilles"... The same sets were danced in all these places, and this includes what was known as 'The Plain Set', or '1st Set', or 'Paris Set', 'Les Lanciers' / 'The Lancers', and the Caledonian, to name the most common... North American square dance, both sides of the border and in various 'states' (provinces
), from loose, welcoming and old time to starched, precise, competitive and federated, evolved from these common roots... You can find some interesting introductions to one of my favourite forms, including how to call and figures, here:

It's a super tune which we already play with "Lemonville"
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/3323
"DCN" being the 2nd. tune. We play it fairly steadily, somewhat slowly I suppose.

Mexican Hat Dance
The second half sounds very similar to The Mexican Hat Dance. Is there some cosmic-music connection?
