Auld Ireland

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Auld Ireland is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and D major whose specific composer and early historical origins remain unrecorded. Played with the characteristic lively bounce of a traditional Irish dance tune, it features a spirited melody suited for both social dancing and instrumental performance. Because definitive historical associations or early manuscript sources for the tune are not established, musicians continue to play it as a standard part of the traditional repertoire.
