Orcadian

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Orcadian is a traditional 6/8 jig in D major whose exact historical origins and composer are not definitively documented. The tune is characterized by a lively, rhythmic bounce typical of traditional Scottish island dance music, making it well suited for lively fiddle accompaniment. Because specific historical associations and early publication details for this tune remain uncertain, it is primarily performed today as part of the living Orkney folk repertoire.
