Woods Of Old Limerick, The

Jig · 6/8 · E major

The Woods Of Old Limerick, The is a traditional Irish jig in 6/8 meter, though its specific composer and exact historical origins remain uncertain. Played in the bright and unusual key of E major, the tune features the lively, lilting rhythm characteristic of traditional dance music in this meter. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this setting are lacking, musicians focus on its energetic character and flowing melodic line in performance.
