Champion, The

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

The Champion is a traditional 6/8 jig set in the key of E minor with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer. Because its early history and specific associations are not well documented, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic character and standard modal phrasing typical of Irish dance music. It is commonly performed in sessions with a driving triplet-heavy style that highlights the energetic bounce characteristic of traditional double jigs.
