Caitlin Ni HEadha

Slip jig · 9/8 · B dorian

Caitlin Ni HEadha is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eighths meter and the key of B dorian, though its exact composer and historical origins are not reliably documented. Characterized by its lively triple-subdivision rhythm typical of the slip jig form, it is driven by a distinctive bounding lilt well suited for traditional step dancing. Because specific historical associations for the tune are uncertain, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its fluid phrasing and traditional melodic charm.
