Real, The

Jig · 6/8 · A major

The jig known as The Real is a modern composition in six-eight meter and A major written by Aoife Cribbin, Orna McCormack, and Aoife O'Meara. Because traditional historical associations for the tune are not established, its performance style relies on the standard driving rhythm and melodic interplay typical of contemporary Irish session music. The piece exhibits a lively and energetic character suited to the dynamic ornamentation often applied in modern traditional fiddle and ensemble playing.
