REEL DE TADOUSSAC (Tadoussac Reel). AKA and see "Glise a Sherbrooke." French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard. AA'BB'. Tadoussac is a town on the west bank of the St. Lawrence river, above Quebec City. Editor Joyal points out the interesting juxtaposition when one compares Allard's two versions, recorded 18 years apart (when the violinist was aged 55 and 73, respectively). It appears Allard's style of playing remained remarkably consistent over the intervening years, as the two versions are almost identical. Cuillerier (Joseph Allard), 1992; pg. 20.
