Limerick Return, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Limerick Return is a modern composition by the uilleann piper Pádraig McGovern. Written in six-eight meter and the key of D major, the tune exemplifies the lively rhythm and ornamented melodic phrasing characteristic of contemporary Irish traditional music. Because it is a recently authored piece rather than an older tune of anonymous traditional background, it lacks centuries-old historical associations, though it has become a popular addition to modern session repertoires.
