Description The Gabriel Dumont Institute is honoured to record these forty old-time Métis fiddle tunes preserved by the memory and talent of Victor Rose. We cherish the legacy he has created for the Métis. We are also grateful to John Arcand for recognizing Victor’s invaluable contribution to our culture and heritage, for bringing the idea to the Institute, and for working with Victor to make the compilation. Vicki Arcand and Scott Duffee helped us coordinate the recording engineered by Desmond Lagace. We are very fortunate to have this group of Métis fiddle players and enthusiasts contribute to the project. Disc One: 1. Buffalo Hunt Reel 2. Bluebird Waltz 3. LeTrombe Jig 4. John Ross Waltz 5.
