Composed by Kimberly Archer. Arranged by Geoffrey Brand. Band Music. Pioneer Band Series. Score and parts. Duration 3:00. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.10280).This work is not a traditional jig, beyond its 6/8 time signature, but does have a consistent upbeat, dance-like feel. It also encourages students to whistle, cheer, clap hands, stomp feet, and otherwise participate in the youthful, celebratory character of the music.
Jig was commissioned by the Craig Middle School Band in Indianapolis, IN. The conductor, Karen Cole, asked that I write a work to exploit her large and active percussion section, along with their brand new marimba. The work is not a traditional jig, beyond its time signature, but does have a consistent upbeat, dance-like feel. It also encourages students to whistle, cheer, clap hands, stomp feet, and otherwise participate in the youthful, celebratory character of the music.
