Donegal, The

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

The Donegal, The is a contemporary jig composed by accordionist Martin Tourish of the renowned traditional group Altan. Set in A mixolydian with a 6/8 meter, the tune is characterized by its driving rhythm and intricate, modern phrasing idiomatic to contemporary master players. Because it is a recently composed piece rather than an older folk tune, it does not carry historical associations from earlier centuries.
