Skeleton Key, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Skeleton Key is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight time that is set in the key of D major. Because its exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented, performers treat it as a standard session tune with an uncertain background. Its lively and rhythmic character makes it well suited for lively contra dance and traditional instrumental accompaniment.
