Ryan's Fancy

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Ryan's Fancy is a traditional double jig set in 6/8 meter and the key of E minor, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is characterized by a lively, rhythmic bounce and a melancholic yet driving melodic contour that typifies traditional Irish dance music. It is commonly played with a spirited, articulate style on instruments such as the fiddle, accordion, or tin whistle to accompany energetic set dancing.
