About Riggity, Jiggity, Jig
“Riggity, Jiggity, Jig” is a vibrant, upbeat original composition from the MakingMusicFun.net collection that captures the lively spirit of a traditional Irish jig.
An Irish jig is a lively, rhythmic folk dance and accompanying music that originated in Ireland.. Irish Jigs are typically written in a quick 6/8 time signature, giving the music a bouncy, lilting quality. For its tempo, it is performed at a brisk, energetic tempo, usually around 120-130 beats per minute. Its rhythm is characterized by a triplet feel, with three quick notes followed by a longer note. Often, jig melodies feature repeating, syncopated patterns and ornamentation like grace notes, which add to the lively, improvisational feel.
