Nell Beag
Nell Beag is a traditional Irish jig played in six-eight meter and set in the C dorian mode, with its exact composer and historical origins remaining unrecorded. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic structure that invites energetic ensemble playing and traditional ornamentation. Because detailed historical documentation for this melody is scarce, musicians focus on its distinct modal flavor and driving tempo when performing it in sessions.
