Running For The Ferry

Slip jig · 9/8 · E minor

Running For The Ferry is a traditional slip jig in nine-eighths meter and the key of E minor, though its specific geographical origin and exact historical background are not documented. As a slip jig, it features the distinctive galloping 9/8 rhythm characteristic of this traditional dance measure, which is typically played in a lively and fluid style. Because no specific historical associations or composer attributions are reliably recorded for the tune, it is preserved and performed purely as a standard piece within the traditional Irish and Celtic instrumental repertoires.
