"Gigue en rondeau" is a movement from Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Nouvelles Suites de Pièces de Clavecin", published around 1724. A gigue is a lively Baroque dance, often in compound meter, that originated in the British Isles. Rameau, a master of the French Baroque style, infused this gigue with intricate ornamentation and harmonic sophistication typical of his keyboard works. While originally for harpsichord, its contrapuntal lines and dance character make it well-suited for arrangement, as seen in its adaptation for guitar duo.
