Auretti's Dutch Skipper

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Auretti's Dutch Skipper is a traditional mid-eighteenth-century English country dance tune that likely takes its name from the dancer and choreographer dancer Auretti. Set in G major with a lively 6/8 meter, it functions as a bouncy jig with a playful and energetic character. Because detailed historical records regarding its exact provenance are uncertain, the tune is best appreciated through its surviving mid-century publication sources and standard dance arrangements.
