Waterford Girls

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

Waterford Girls is a traditional Irish slip jig not attributed to a known composer, with its exact geographic origin and early history remaining uncertain. Set in a lively 9/8 meter, the tune is played in D major with a characteristic bounding rhythm that drives traditional Irish dance performance. Due to the lack of early manuscript evidence, musicians approach the piece with flexible ornamentation and phrasing typical of regional fiddle and flute styles.
