Humours Of Westmeath, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · D major

The Humours Of Westmeath, The is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eight meter and the key of D major, though its specific origin and composer are not historically recorded. Because its precise historical background and any early associations are uncertain, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic character and standard playing style within the traditional repertoire. It is frequently performed in session settings as a classic example of the fast, bounding cadence typical of traditional triple-time dance music.
