GIGUE À JOS BERNATCHEZ, LA. French-Canadian, Reel. D Major/Mixolydian. ADae tuning (fiddle). AABB. A 'crooked' tune, the 'A' part having six measures and the 'B' part four. A gigue in Québec is a stepdance, and the name attached to a tune simply means a vehicle for stepdancing, no matter what the meter.
