Floating Carpet, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The Floating Carpet is a traditional six-eight jig in the key of G major with an uncertain composer and historical background. Because its exact origin and history are not established, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and melodic shape typical of standard Irish dance repertoire. It is commonly played briskly by traditional musicians to accompany dancing or as part of a lively session set.
