Planxty Drew
Planxty Drew is a traditional Irish jig composed in the early eighteenth century by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan in honor of the Drew family. Written in G dorian with a 6/8 meter, the tune possesses a graceful yet lively character typical of O'Carolan's planxty compositions. Because detailed historical records regarding the specific member of the Drew family are sparse, the exact circumstances of its composition remain uncertain, allowing musicians to focus on its lyrical melody and flowing dance rhythm.
