Harper's Chair, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

The traditional Irish slip jig known as The Harper's Chair is in 9/8 meter and D major, with its exact composer and historical origins remaining undocumented. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic flow typical of slip jigs, it is traditionally played in 9/8 time with a distinct three-beat grouping that dancers favor. Because its early history is uncertain, the tune is best known today through modern Irish traditional music sessions and recordings.
