Gigue 是甚麼 ( 詳細 )

Gigue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The gigue or giga is a lively baroque dance, usually in a compound metre such as 6/8, 6/4, 9/8 or 12/16. It is rare for one to be written in a simple metre such as 3/8, but some do exist, as do even some written in 4/4. They often have a contrapuntal texture.

As a musical form, gigues frequently occur as movements in binary form in larger works such as concertos and sonatas. It was the most common final movement in a baroque suite.

Writers during the baroque era distinguished French and Italian gigues, and occasionally the gigue anglaise. The Italian and French forms seem to have derived from the British jig which was danced at least as far back as the 15th century and is a common ancestor of modern folk dance jigs.
