Corelli Gigue in C Major
from Fiddle Hangout Top 100 Classical Songs Hosted by FiddlerJones
An example of the Italian baroque gigue, which derives from the British jig. The first and second notes of each triplet are slurred, resulting in an accentuation of the third note of each triplet set, giving it a lively dance feel. The structure, in keeping with true jig form, is AABB.
