Fanad Head

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

Fanad Head is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight meter and the A dorian mode, with its precise composer and exact historical origins remaining unrecorded. The tune is typically played with a lively and rhythmic character suited to traditional step dancing. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not established, its performance style relies on regional sean-nós sensibilities and standard ornamentation common to northern fiddle traditions.
