Gallowglass, The

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

The jig known as The Gallowglass was composed by the Scottish musician and publisher Nathaniel Gow. Written in 6/8 meter and set in the key of A minor, it features the lively and rhythmic character typical of traditional Scottish fiddle music from the Gow collection. While specific historical associations for the title remain uncertain, the tune exemplifies the spirited style of late eighteenth-century dance repertoire.
