PROGRAM NOTES

 

"Le dep" is an original composition in the style of the French-Canadian mouth reels. Traditionally, instrumental folk tunes are often named according to who wrote it, for whom it was written, or, in this case, to where the musician was travelling while composing it. "Le dep" in Québec is short for "le dépanneur", which means the corner store. I wrote this tune walking to the corners tore and back during the pandemic, so, here we are!
