Slipping The Jig
Slipping The Jig is a traditional slip jig in the key of E dorian, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to a lack of early documentation. Played in a compound 9/8 meter, it features a fluid, triplet-heavy rhythm that creates a characteristic loping and energetic feel well-suited for traditional Irish step dancing. Because of its obscure history, the tune has no specific reliable historical associations, but it is frequently performed today in modern Irish traditional music sessions by fiddle and flute players alike.
