	Jig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The jig (sometimes seen in its French language or Italian language forms gigue or giga) is a folk dance type as well as the accompanying dance tune type, popular in Ireland and Scotland, and particularly associated with the former.
		It is transcribed in a time which is a multiple of three, 12/8 time for a 'single jig' or 'slide', 6/8 time for a 'double jig', and 9/8 time for a 'slip jig'.
		As with most other types of dance tunes in Irish music, at a session or a dance it is common for two or more jigs to be strung together, flowing on without interruption.

	Jig (Gigue) Dance - Streetswings Dance History archives
		The Irish Cengail seems to be cognate with the old French verb, Ginguer (to move the feet,) and the refrain of this dance song was perhaps like that of the Fer Gigaoila, which consisted of a humorous kind of giggling, in short catches of the breath, accompanied by sudden starts of the body.
		The Jig derives its name from gigg or giga, the name of a short piece of music much in vogue in olden times, which was of a joyous lively character, and consisted of two parts of eight bars each, and these of the shortest notes.
		The basic music defines the speed of the dance with the music for a Jig being in 6/8 time and a slip Jig is 9/8.

		This set of G minor jigs starts off with two different versions of "The Old Dutch Churn." I found the second one (which comes from the playing of Buddy MacMaster and Winston "Scotty" Fitzgerald) first, and then I discovered the first version (which is in 9/8) later on.
		The final tune is a Scottish jig that was composed by William Marshall - it appears in his 1822 collection.
