Gathering, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Gathering is a well-established modern composition by the renowned Scottish piper and tune smith Gordon Duncan. Written in the key of D major and set in a driving 6/8 meter, the tune features the distinctive, rhythmically complex styling characteristic of Duncan's modern piping repertoire. Because its precise historical background beyond its authorship is not widely documented, the tune is best understood as a staple of contemporary folk sessions that bridges traditional idioms with modern composition.
