The composer recorgnises her Acadian roots, but also the cultural influences of her current hometown�Montréal�in the title. The Acadian and Québecois mouth-reel is the art of imitating an instrumental reel or jig with one�s voice, using a specific set of syllables�not unlike jazz scat singers. It would be performed at kitchen parties (still common today), and dance parties, when the instrumentalists wanted to take a break. Though mouth-reels can be found in many other cultures around the globe, a unique sound featured in the Acadian and Québecois mouth-reel is the �ts� sound, much like a mini drum kit hi-hat hit.
