This article isn't quite consistent with the articles on metre (music) and compound metre. As I understand it and as these articles say, 3/8 is a simple triple time, not a compound time. Andrewa 02:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time signatures

I have never seen a gigue in 3/8 in my life, changed to 9/8 as it is much more appropriate for the period in which gigues would have been most common (baroque). Also changed from 6/4 to 6/8 which is the correct time signature —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.249.155.239 (talk • contribs) .

(Bach wrote several gigues in 3/8 -- see his 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Cello Suites, for example.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.44.71.212 (talk • contribs) .

See also French Suites #2 and #3 (BWV 813 & 814) for gigues in 3/8. JeanneShade (talk) 00:03, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Based on the prevalence of of 3/8 gigues in the aforementioned suites (gigues written in this meter comprise one-third of all the french suite gigues, half of all the cello suite gigues), I removed the claim that 3/8 gigues are rare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JeanneShade (talk • contribs) 00:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

The article for "Jig" says "The term jig was probably derived from the French 'giguer', meaning 'to jump' or giga, the Italian." and provides a reference: "J. Ling, L. Schenck, R. Schenck, A History of European Folk Music (Boydell & Brewer, 1997), p. 194." This sounds much more likely than the 12th-century violin origin identified here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BryanFrazar (talk • contribs) 03:13, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
