Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 24 Number 22, Giga, performed by David Summer.
A Giga like the previously titled duet "Gigue" is a lively baroque dance originating from the British jig. Again, this is 6/8 time at a fast tempo, played "in 2". That is, heavily accenting the first and the fourth beats of the measure. The first section of the duet features some canonic, or imitative musical phrases.
The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 88.
