Goldcrest, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

The slip jig known as The Goldcrest is a traditional-style Irish tune composed in D major by Martha Woods. Written in 9/8 meter, the piece features a lively, bouncing rhythm characteristic of slip jigs, requiring a light and nimble playing style on melody instruments. Because specific historical associations and early publication records for this composition are not well documented, players generally approach it as a contemporary addition to the traditional session repertoire.
