Planxty Hugh O'Donnell

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Planxty Hugh O'Donnell is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight time and the key of G major, though its exact historical origins and composer are not definitively recorded. Because specific historical associations for the tune are uncertain, its traditional background is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic melodic phrasing typical of the genre. It is commonly performed with an upbeat and flowing playing style that highlights the characteristic bounce of the six-eight meter.
