Le Bon Chien

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Le Bon Chien is a jig composed in D major by John Skelton and written in 6/8 meter. Because the tune's historical background and associations are otherwise unrecorded, its musical character is defined by the lively bounce and lilting phrasing typical of traditional dance jigs. Musicians typically play it with a brisk tempo and an articulated bowing or fingering style that emphasizes the inherent compound rhythm of the melody.
