King Of The Rath, The

Jig · 6/8 · B minor

The traditional Irish jig known as The King of the Rath is set in 6/8 meter and B minor, with its exact composer and historical origins remaining unrecorded. The tune features a lively and rhythmic character well-suited to the spirited articulation typical of traditional Irish dance music. Due to the lack of early manuscript documentation, performers approach the piece with standard regional ornamentation typical of contemporary session playing.
