Jig [It., Giga; Fr. and Ger., Gigue; comes either from Geige, an obsolete variety of fiddle, or from Chica, a rapid Spanish national dance). Now a rapid rustic dance of no fixed rhythm or figures. In the classic suite the jig is the last movement, written in time and often very elaborately treated in fugal form.
