La Belle Catherine

La Belle Catherine (The Beautiful Catherine). Reel in D, structure ABAC.

Banjo, double C capoed to D:


Source: Louis "Pitou" Boudreault:


One of the most well know crooked-tune in the québécois repertoire and it's one of the first tune I learned.

It's an ABAC structure with the A part repeated 3 times and the B, C part repeated 2 times. The B part can be a bit tricky with it's 7 beat separated in a 2-3-2 fashion.

Has for the source, Louis "Pitou" Boudreault, 1905-1988, plays this tune in cross tuning, ADAE, and do footaping to accompany his fiddle.
