Back to Chorus Jig (3)

CHORUS JIG [3]. Irish, Scottish, Canadian; Jig or Strathspey (in 6/8 time - this is another rhythmic variant illustrating the intentional and unintentional variation of folk melodies between triple and duple time). Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. D Mixolydian (Gow, Cranford, Kerr, MacDonald): D Mixolydian/Major (Aird, Kennedy, O'Farrell, Perlman): D Major (Goodman): A Mixolydian (Gunn). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (Kerr): AABB'C (Kennedy): ABCD (Johnson): AABBCCDD (Aird, Gow, Skye): AA'BCCD (Gunn): AA'BB'CC'DD' (Cranford, Perlman): AABBCCDDEE (O'Farrell): AABB'CCDDEEFFGG (Goodman). Gow and Kerr list the tune as "Irish" and McGlashan says it is an "Irish country dance." Perlman (1996) suggests the contra-dance reel called "Chorus Jig" originated from this jig. See also the closely related Irish "Kilfenora Jig (1)."
