Cuaichin Ghleann Neifin

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

Cuaichin Ghleann Neifin, whose title translates from the Irish as the little cuckoo of Glen Nephin, is a traditional slip jig in nine-eight meter and the key of G major. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not historically documented, the tune is best known through traditional performance practice rather than specific historical associations. Played with the characteristic lively, bouncing rhythm of a slip jig, it remains a vibrant staple of Irish traditional music sessions.
