Frank Palmer

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Frank Palmer is a traditional Irish jig composed in G major by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan during the early eighteenth century. The tune is written in 6/8 meter with a lively, flowing character that is well-suited to standard Irish traditional dance and session playing styles. Because detailed historical records from O'Carolan's life are scarce, specific anecdotes regarding the dedication of this piece to an individual named Frank Palmer remain largely unverified.
