Leaving Port Askaig

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Leaving Port Askaig is a traditional-style jig composed by the prominent Scottish piper and composer Willie Ross. Set in 6/8 meter and A major, the tune is characterized by its lively, driving rhythm and distinctly idiomatic bagpipe phrasing. While its exact date of composition is uncertain, the piece reflects the rich mid-twentieth-century tradition of pipe march and dance music associated with its creator.
