Back to Negus for Gentlemen

NEGUS FOR GENTLEMEN. Irish, Air and Jig. G Mixolydian/F Major? Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "See 'Punch for the Ladies (1)'" (Joyce), a companion piece. Negus is a concoction made of hot water, wine, and lemon juice, sweetened and spiced. The two titles form a reversal of convention: negus was a woman's drink, while men typically enjoyed punch.
