Union Quay, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Union Quay is a traditional Irish double jig in 6/8 meter, typically performed in the key of D major. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not recorded in standard traditional repertoires, the tune is best known through modern session playing rather than specific historical associations. Characterized by its lively and rhythmic phrasing, this cheerful melody is well-suited for social dancing and features the flowing contours typical of traditional Munster jigs.
