Royal Scotch Galop

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Royal Scotch Galop is a traditional jig of uncertain historical origin, though its title suggests a Scottish themed dance context. Written in 6/8 meter and the key of G major, it features the bouncy rhythm and lively character typical of nineteenth-century social dance music. Because specific historical records and composer attributions for this tune are not established, performers typically approach it with a spirited and straightforward dance style.
