Cultural Context

Turlutte acadienne montréalaise is an original melody hailing from the traditional Acadian andQuébecois musical practice of the “turlutte,” or mouth-reel. The composer recognizes her Acadian roots,but also the cultural influences of her current hometown—Montréal—in the title. The Acadian andQuébecois mouth-reel is the art of imitating an instrumental reel or jig with one’s voice, using a specificset of syllables—not unlike jazz scat singers. It would be performed at kitchen parties (still commontoday), and dance parties, when the instrumentalists wanted to take a break. Though mouth-reels can befound in many other cultures around the globe, a unique sound featured in the Acadian and Québecoismouth-reel is the “ts” sound, much like a mini drum kit hi-hat hit.
