mont-st-louis-marche
Marche du Mont St-Louis
Key:
D major
Type:reel
Form:AABB
Repertoire:Alfred Montmarquette
This is the kind of tune that folks will lift their beer, swaying and singing at the top of their lungs. A true joy to play. If playing for a dance, beware that both the A and B parts are twice as long as the normal dance tune.
Here is Montmarquette himself playing a slightly crooked version (in G major), but it gets you the feel of the tune with all the twiddly bits between the main notes to keep things flying along.
