Slip jig · 9/8 · E minor

The slip jig The Cailleach is a traditional Irish tune composed by Lizzy Heaphy in the 9/8 meter characteristic of the genre. Set in E minor, the tune features a lively and flowing rhythmic character that lends itself well to dynamic traditional fiddle or flute playing. Because specific historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented, performers focus on its energetic melodic lines and distinctive triplet feel.
