Green Blanket, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Green Blanket is a traditional 6/8 jig set in the key of D major with an uncertain exact origin and no verified composer. Played with a lively and rhythmic bounce characteristic of Irish dance music, the tune features an engaging melodic contour that fits comfortably on traditional instruments like the fiddle and flute. Because its historical background and early associations are not well documented, it is primarily valued today as a vibrant and enduring staple of modern session playing.
