GALLOPING HOGAN. Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Galloping Hogan" was printed in Walton's Dance Music, Part Three, a collection that includes original tunes by singer, songwriter, arranger and composer Joseph M. Crofts, to whom this jig is attributed. Crofts, who was born in 1886, had a music shop on North Frederick Street, Dublin, in the first half of the 20th century. The music publishing house of Waltons published some of Crofts works, although many attributed to him seem to be arrangements of traditional material, rather than his own compositions. It is difficult to tell what may be his truly original compositions. Roche's "Galloping O'Hogan" is a similarly titled but musically unrelated jig.
