Mongrel, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Mongrel is a contemporary composition in 6/8 meter set in the key of D major written by accordionist Jason O'Rourke. The tune features a lively, driving rhythm and a modern melodic character that suits contemporary Irish traditional music sessions. Because it is a recently composed piece by a known living musician, it does not carry older historical associations or traditional anonymity.
