Capstan Bar

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Capstan Bar is a traditional jig in the key of G major with a standard 6/8 meter, though its exact historical origins and composer are not known. The tune is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm well-suited to accompanying rhythmic work or energetic social dancing. Because its early history is uncertain, musicians today focus on its spirited character by applying standard traditional fiddling ornamentation and an upbeat tempo.
