Carlisle Races

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Carlisle Races is a traditional jig in the key of G major with an uncertain historical origin. The tune features a lively 6/8 meter that gives it a bouncing character well suited for energetic dancing. Because specific historical associations and composer details are not established, musicians typically play it with a brisk and rhythmic style common to standard Anglo-Irish traditional repertoire.
