GIGUE DOUBLE. AKA - "Double-gigue." AKA and see "Fisher's Hornpipe." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB' The tune was recorded by Montreal fiddlers biography:Joseph Allard (1873-1946) and J.O. LaMadeleine in 1930 and 1938 respectively. Allard researcher Jean Duval informs that the name 'double gigue'/double jig for this tune stems from the mid-18th century conversion of hornpipes from the older triple hornpipe in 3/2 time to the double hornpipe in 4/4 time. He also says the 'double gigue' name for the piece was known to Metis musicians in western Canada^[1].
