Tune of the Day: Giga by Corelli
from Trio Sonata in F-sharp minor, transcribed for two flutes and bass
This Allegro is the third and final movement of Italian Baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli's Trio Sonata No. 9 in F-sharp minor, published in 1685. Despite being named a “Giga”, this movement is written in common time (4/4), even though gigues are normally in compound time (6/8 or similar).
