Kemp’s Jig is an energetic solo guitar arrangement of an anonymous Renaissance tune. Baxter’s version brings out the dance-like vitality of the music while adapting its character to the clarity, articulation, and color of the guitar.

Bright and rhythmically engaging, the piece provides contrast within Five Renaissance Pieces and gives the performer an opportunity to highlight lightness, motion, and rhythmic lift.

Kemp’s Jig should be played with buoyancy and clear articulation. Its dance character makes it especially useful as a lively contrast piece within the full set or as a short standalone selection.
