This afternoon, I called Hull's Victory (for the first time) for the Challenging Contra Dance crowd in Montpelier VT. Crowfoot did a fantastic job playing the tune and even came up with a fantastic change tune (that escapes me for the moment - it was French Canadian!).
This is what Nicolas (of Crowfoot) said about the change tune:
The tune we paired with hull's victory is known as 'Set Americain', a Québecois reel in D. It's worth noting that some finessing is required to make the key change work.
At the time they were talking about the "finessing", they mentioned inserting a "big, fat C-chord". ;)
