Great Northern Railway, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · A major

The slip jig The Great Northern Railway, written in the key of A major in 9/8 meter, is a modern composition by Ryan O’Donnell. Because it is a recently crafted tune rather than an old folk melody, it does not carry traditional historical associations or centuries of anonymous background. As a slip jig, it features the characteristic bouncy and flowing lilt of the 9/8 time signature, making it well suited for lively instrumental playing and energetic dancing.
