Ivory Flute, The

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

The Ivory Flute is a traditional jig in 6/8 time set in the A Dorian mode, composed by James McMahon. Because specific historical associations and regional origins for the tune are not widely documented, its background remains primarily defined by its modern traditional session context. Musically, it is characterized by the lively, bouncing rhythm typical of standard jigs, requiring a brisk and articulate playing style well-suited for traditional Irish flute or fiddle.
