*Notes: Pascal Gemme writes, “I collected [Attrape le LieÌ€vre] from the Gaspesie fiddler Hermas Réhel. It is the only Quebecois tune that I know that follows a 9/8 rhythm…but as you will be able to tell it definitely is not a slip jig!”
However, the ABC and sheet music above show it as a march in 2/4 time.
