Jig in G

by Graham F Firth

Composed by: Thomas Arne

From Sonata number 4

Some years ago, a Roland Emmett machine was installed in a glass case in one of the aisles of a local shopping centre. Every hour this machine was run to the sound of a very catchy tune. Since then I have often wondered what that tune was. One day, a friend gave me the dots for it, together with a cassette of a recording of the tune itself that he had made (very self-consciously standing around waiting for the tune to start!). This is my version of that tune - at the same speed as that recording & sounding a lot like it. I hope that it doesn't offend any purists!
