  • The Gothard Sisters explained the difference between an Irish jig and an Irish reel at a performance in Cleveland Ohio in 2013. Believe it or not, the words strawberry and rutabaga will tell you the difference. The Gothard Sisters are a dynamic all-female Irish music and dance group from the Pacific Northwest, USA. The three sisters perform and record new Celtic arrangements of well-known traditional tunes and popular songs, as well as their own original compositions from their 7 recorded studio albums. The video includes part of their performance. www.clevelandpeople.com/groups...

    This helps so much! I have a music assessment and I always get confused on how to tell if a piece is a Jig or a Reel.
    Thank-you!

      A 6/8 jig has a different beat so if you clap your hands to a jig it will be 1 23 like a gallop the beats in a reel are even 123, Scottish jigs are slower than reels, hope this helps

    I'm a tragic accordionist in Australia, I used to play a lot of Scottish, some dancers told me they couldn't tell the difference between a jig and a reel and I used to try to explain it by hand clapping, your demonstration would have been ideal, you are pretty girls and great players.

      Would love to know the ethnicity of these lovely girls. Gothard is not a name that reached Ireland, & with one of the girls being named Greta, I'm guessing they are of German ancestry. Doesn't matter, I like them.

      @differous01 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Most hornpipes go 1. 'one banana...', some go 2. 'banana one...' (eg. Captain Pugwash theme, the 'Trumpet Hornpipe') & some skip a beat to get 3. a "YAH_wobble" - eg. Kate Bush's 'Rocket Man' combines reggae & hornpipe. ('YOUR momma...' also works but, rhythm-wise, 'Your mom' is a polka;-)
