Tune of the Day: Tipperary Hills

This 9/8 time jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection The Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. The tune probably descended from an older one, known in England and Scotland as “Andrew Carey”.

Sitting right at the heart of Ireland's lush midlands, County Tipperary is quite well known for its rolling hills, valleys, and majestic mountain ranges.

Tune of the Day: Gigue by J.S. Bach

This gigue is the piece that concludes Bach's Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello, BWV 1007. The gigue (also called giga or jig, even if these terms are generally only used for its Italian and British counterparts, respectively) was a lively dance, usually in 6/8 time or some other compound time. It was the most common form for the last movement of a Baroque suite.

Thanks to Luis for suggesting this piece!
