Irish Waterman, The

Jig · 6/8 · A major

The Irish Waterman is a traditional jig in six-eighth meter and A major, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to a lack of early documentation. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic double jig tempo that is typical of traditional Irish dance music, lending itself well to energetic session playing. Because specific historical associations have not been established for this piece, its performance practice relies on standard traditional stylistic ornaments such as rolls, cuts, and triplets.
