Dr. Iain MacAonghais

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

Dr. Iain MacAonghais is a modern 6/8 jig composed by the renowned Scottish piper and tradition-bearer Allan MacDonald. Written in the A mixolydian mode, the tune features the bouncy rhythm and driving momentum characteristic of a well-crafted bagpipe jig. Because it is a contemporary composition rather than an older folk tune, it does not carry traditional historical associations, but it has become a popular addition to modern piping repertoires.
