Tuireadh Iain Ruaidh

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Tuireadh Iain Ruaidh is a traditional Scottish Gaelic lament of uncertain exact origin composed in memory of John Ruadh of Mull. Set in A major with a 6/8 meter, it is structured as a jig characterized by a steady rhythmic pulse and a mournful yet lyrical melodic profile. Because detailed historical records regarding its composition date are scarce, the tune is best known through oral tradition as a poignant expression of grief and cultural heritage.
