_ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ So welcome [A] for the [N] next tune.
We're going to go through a tune which is called La Marche
de Thomas Pomerleau No.
1.
_ Of course, there is a No.
2, so I invite you to go through
the No.
2 as well.
These tunes are really slow.
It's a march.
And you should know that
Thomas Pomerleau was _ _ one of the latest beggars we had home.
We are in the 50s, 60s.
_ _ And he
was traveling from a house to another, working on the farm. _
_ There were two well-known beggars
home who were fiddlers.
_ And they were traveling like that, so you could tell that _ _ _ Le Quai
de Tremblay, _ _ Quai de is the name in French to say beggar.
_ _ _ So Le Quai de Tremblay was
in the Lannaudière region around April and May.
Then you could see him somewhere else
in Quebec.
And they were traveling, walking, _ _ _ asking _ for some lift here and there.
And they
were good workers _ and good musicians as well.
And Mr.
Thomas Pomerleau was one of them.
We don't know.
It is from his repertoire.
Did he compose it or not?
This is the _ question
will be always there.
I kind of love to think that he composed this tune.
_ We are in D key.
The _ Pomerleau number one is in D.
And the second one is in G key.
This one is really great.
_ _ It is
a smooth tune.
You don't play it so fast because you will lose the energy of the tune.
If we go
through the first part now, _ starting with an [D] F sharp. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Second finger on D string, go up to A. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Really the first phrase, down, down, down.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ And I try to put some long bowing and _ put some slurs
_ there. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _
_ So if you listen to the tune and I suggest you to listen to it and sing it, _ _
[N] that will bring you to know the tune well.
And when you [F#m] sing it, try to reproduce the sound of
bowing.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] So this is a sound that you can do with the bow.
So, _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ one, _ _ two, three, push one.
So you
pull, pull, pull, push, pull.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
So that's really helpful, especially when you're doing slow tunes.
_ [N] Welcome to the advanced part of the tune called La Marche de Thomas Pomerleau number one.
_ This
one tune is in D key.
_ He has a second version, not a second version, but another version,
which is called La Marche de Thomas Pomerleau number two, which I invite you to just go see.
What is the tune?
It's a different key, it's in G key, the number two.
So let's start with this
one.
And this is a good tune, really slow kind of tune that I would start to play in a jam.
Even if
people don't know it, they will just let themselves go into the tune.
_ _ And it's not fast playing,
because if you play too fast, it won't work.
So _ _ _ _ _ _ it's a march, but _ yeah, you're just going into
that.
So there's a lot of good, good, good bowing and double stops to do in the first part.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This is
a rhythm I'm kind of doing _ at _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ the [D] beginning only, yes? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And _ _ _ I'm doing that rhythm for the first
phrase of the tune. _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And I'm doing the notes of the melody _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and the double strings, most of the
time open A and open G. _ _
