Long Point, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Long Point, The is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and D major whose specific composer and exact historical origins are not recorded. It is played in a lively and rhythmic style characteristic of traditional Irish and Celtic dance music. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this particular setting are lacking, the tune is best known through modern traditional performance practice.
