Not convinced. I've run though the CNRS editions (Dufaut, 2nd ed., and Mercure; btw,there are not more than three gigues by Mercure at all). None of all these gigues in triple time shows the characteristic rhythm of the piece at stake, i.e. crotchet - minim. On the other hand, this piece lacks the characteristic rhythm of most of Dufaut's and Mercure's gigues in triple time, i.e. dotted crotchet - quaver - crotchet. No, I don't think it's a gigue. What is striking, is that this pieces has sequenced motives, i.e. phrases that are repeated on different pitches, in all of its three sections. And the melody is nowhere broken. I'm suspicious it could be an English song among all of the French and Scottish music in that book. But, alas, I'm not familiar with English tunes of the 1630ies. - Anyone?
