Dónal Óg

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

Donal Og is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eight meter, though its exact historical origins and composer remain uncertain. Played in D major, the tune features the lively, flowing character typical of the slip jig form, which is traditionally danced to with rapid, light footwork. It is most widely known through its association with the famous Gaelic lament of the same name, though the instrumental dance tune itself circulates primarily within the traditional Irish session repertoire.
