The last tune of this fantastic set played by Le Vent du Nord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOnK9eR_OfY (starts around 2:35)

Anyone got some sheet music or ABC notation for it?
I'll sit down with it playing at 0.25x speed if needed to try and transcribe it, but it'd certainly save me a confusing few days if anyone happened to have it lying around already!

I also rather like the other two tunes if anyone has those as well. I've got a pretty decent ABC file of Quebec tunes, but I don't think I have any of these.

Very simple melodically and I think you would be better served by learning it by ear to get all the diddly bits. Listen a ton of times, stay on the D row and it should play itself soon enough :)

Here's a different tune that you might like - the one you are interested in reminds me of it in places: Le reel des accordéonistes. As you might expect, beautifully suited to the box, esp. in the third part. Got it from Sabin Jacques, who didn't know who composed it.

Ooh thanks Stiamh! I'll have a go at that one too; I'm trying to find and learn a lot more Québécois music at the moment, so any recommendations are very welcome

Still don't have an especially well-suited box for it. I might try playing these on a little old A/D box I've been restoring, as it has a quick response and it's lightweight, which seems to be the necessary combination!

A sizeable number of tunes - sheet music and recorded examples - can be found here: http://www.mustrad.udenap.org/  Click "Le repertoire".

BTW I suspect that few people back up the URL to http://www.udenap.org/ 

A fanciful site describing a fictional educational establishment. The author is an acquaintance. You'd have to have passed through the town of Napierville (pop. 3500) to fully appreciate the absurdity.
