Rowdledum

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

Rowdledum is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eight meter and the key of D major, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded. The tune is characterized by its lively, bounding rhythm and tripartite phrasing, which are typical of the slip jig repertoire used for spirited step dancing. Because early documentation for the piece is scarce, performers generally approach it with a brisk tempo and a rhythmic, driving style suited to traditional dance accompaniment.
