Sausage Factory, The

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

The Sausage Factory is a traditional jig in six-eight time set in the key of E minor, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded by history. Because specific historical associations and background details for the tune are not established, musicians focus on its lively tempo and rhythmic bounce typical of traditional Irish and Celtic dance music. This energetic character makes it a popular selection for informal session playing and dance accompaniments among tradition-bearers.
