Belar

Jig · 6/8 · F dorian

Belar is a traditional jig in 6/8 meter that is usually performed in the F dorian mode. Because its precise historical origins and composer are not documented, musicians focus on its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic melodic phrasing typical of traditional dance repertoire. Played with a spirited bounce, this tune is frequently featured in sessions and collections exploring lesser-known modal folk melodies.
