Knocknarea

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

Composed by Orlaith McAuliffe, Knocknarea is a contemporary slip jig in the key of G major. The tune features the characteristic 9/8 meter typical of the slip jig form, driven by a lively and rhythmic momentum well-suited to traditional Irish dance accompaniment. Because it is a recently composed piece rather than part of the anonymous traditional repertoire, specific historical associations beyond its modern creation by McAuliffe are not established.
