Tobias Peyton

Jig · 6/8 · C major

Tobias Peyton is a lively jig in six-eight time and C major composed by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Because detailed historical associations for this particular piece are not well documented, its background remains largely tied to the broader legacy of its celebrated Irish creator. The tune is typically performed in a spirited style that showcases the flowing melodic contours and characteristic modal shifts found throughout O'Carolan's surviving instrumental works.
