Dargason

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Dargason is an English folk tune of traditional origin with roots that can be traced back at least to the late sixteenth century. Set in 6/8 meter in G major, it functions as a lively jig characterized by a continuous, repeating eight-bar phrase that creates a driving and persistent momentum. The melody is historically associated with various country dances and was famously incorporated by composer Gustav Holst into his St Paul's Suite and the Fourth Movement of his Moorside Suite.
