Ceili, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Ceili is a traditional-style jig written in six-eight meter and set in the key of D major. Composed by Vincent McGrath, the tune features the lively rhythm and rhythmic lift characteristic of Irish dance music. Because specific historical associations and early publication details for this composition are not widely documented, performers typically approach it with the standard spirited ornamentation used for contemporary jigs.
