Short ID: FC21. Title: Gigue - obmise en la suitte de la page 12me. Composer: Francois Campion. Source: Nouvelles decouvertes sur la Guitarre. Unnumbered page following page 12. Date: 1705. Facsimile: Minkoff (1977), page 34. Tuning: Bb D G C F (tuning 1). Time sig: 3. Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string): M15r2 original showed 4er. Changed to 8th here. Tablature elements to be added by hand: No slurs in this piece. Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good. Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated stem. Explanation of symbols: " = trill (starting on upper neighbor). , = mordent (main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note). . = do not strum this string in the chord. $ = petite reprise symbols. Repeat the material between the signs. Repeat path: M48 first time, repeat back to m18r2. M48 second time, repeat back to m40r2 (petite reprise). Octave doublings: To keep certain musical lines intact on the modern guitar, consider adding or substituting the next octave up. For example, see: m19r2, m32r3, m34r2 and m45r3. Leading measures in Campion's original tablature: 1 8 21 28 35 43.
