Grey Cairn, The

Jig · 6/8 · E dorian

The Grey Cairn is a traditional jig set in the key of E dorian with a standard 6/8 meter. Because its exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented, musicians focus on its lively rhythmic bounce and modal melodic character. It is typically played with a steady, driving triplet feel that suits energetic session playing on instruments like the fiddle, flute, or whistle.
