Dance Above The Rainbow

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Dance Above The Rainbow is a contemporary jig composed by Ronan Hardiman that gained widespread popularity through its featured role in the theatrical show Lord of the Dance. Set in D major with a driving 6/8 meter, the tune is characterized by its energetic, upbeat tempo and dramatic theatrical flair suited for rapid Irish step dancing. Because the tune was written specifically for modern stage production, it lacks the anonymous pedigree of older folk repertoire while firmly establishing itself in the contemporary Celtic music canon.
