Planxty Kelly

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Planxty Kelly is a traditional Irish jig composed in D major by the renowned blind harper Turlough O'Carolan. Written in 6/8 meter, the tune features the characteristic lyrical yet lively character typical of O'Carolan's planxty compositions honoring his patrons. While specific historical associations beyond its dedication to a member of the Kelly family remain uncertain, the piece is a well-established standard in the traditional repertoire played by both folk groups and solo instrumentalists.
