Philip Astira

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

Philip Astira is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eighths meter and the key of D major. Because its composer and exact geographical origins are not historically documented, the tune circulates primarily through traditional session playing. It is characterized by the lively, bounding triple-time rhythm and spirited phrasing typical of the slip jig repertoire.
