Muses, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The Muses is a traditional 6/8 jig in the key of G major with an exact origin and composer that are not historically documented. Played with the characteristic lively bounce of a double jig, it features a melodic contour well suited for traditional ensemble playing and social dancing. Because specific historical associations for the tune are not established in reliable sources, its performance relies entirely on the stylistic conventions of the traditional Irish and Celtic repertoire.
