Jigs & Quicksteps, Trips & Humours

This third book in the Fiddlers Tune-Book series continues the theme started in Rants & Reels, Flings & Fancies but this time the time signature is 6/8. Yes, Jigs & Quicksteps, Trips & Humours brings together 200 jigs most of which have never been published. Many different names were used for the tunes that now go under the generic title of jigs, but at one time had rhythmical significance for certain fashionable dances of their day. Most, at some time, were employed for country dances, others, such as quicksteps and gallops, for round dances and still more were used for quadrilles. Never since ONeills has so many jigs been assembled in one volume. Mallys and UK product #AR103.
