GIGUE DOUBLE [3]. AKA - "Double Jig." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Researcher Jean Duval finds the tune in Duval's 1927 unpublished precursor to this 1933 publication under the generic title "Danse," and opines that the melody is a perfect vehicle for step-dancing. The parts are asymmetrical, with four measures in the first strain and six in the second (not uncommon for solo step-dancing). The title has nothing to do with the 6/8 time Irish 'double jig'.
