Duck, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Duck is a traditional-style jig composed in 6/8 meter in the key of D major by the notable Scottish bagpipe composer Donald MacLeod. As a lively and rhythmic bagpipe tune, it features the characteristic bouncy character and nimble ornamentation typical of competition pipe music in the 20th century. While specific historical associations or anecdotal origins for the title are not widely documented, the tune remains a celebrated addition to the modern piping repertoire through MacLeod's published collections.
