Doctor O'Neill

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Doctor O'Neill is a traditional Irish double jig in 6/8 meter and the key of D major, though its exact composer and precise historical origins remain unknown. The tune is characterized by its lively, energetic rhythm and a bounding melodic contour that makes it a perennial favorite in traditional session playing. Its buoyant character and idiomatic phrasing lend themselves well to the flowing ornamentation typical of standard fiddle and flute interpretations.
