El Soldáu

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

El Soldáu is a traditional Asturian slip jig notated in nine-eighths meter and the key of G major. Its lively rhythm and folk character are well suited to traditional regional performance styles on instruments like the gaita. Because its exact historical origins and composer are not documented, the tune is best known through modern folk revival repertoires.
