Rory O'More

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Rory O'More is a traditional Irish double jig in six-eight meter and A major that shares its name with a famous seventeenth-century historical figure and rebel leader. The tune exhibits a lively, bouncing character with a strongly rhythmic phrasing well-suited for spirited dancing and fast-paced instrumental performance. Its precise early origins remain uncertain, though the melody achieved widespread popularity in the nineteenth century as both a dance tune and a vehicle for Samuel Lover's popular patriotic song of the same title.
