Baltighoran, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · D mixolydian

The Baltighoran is a traditional Irish slip jig set in the key of D mixolydian with a 9/8 meter. Because its specific composer and exact historical origins are not recorded, it is best known through traditional performance practice and regional session repertoires. The tune features the characteristic light, bounding rhythm of the slip jig form, which naturally encourages lively foot-tapping and energetic instrumental playing.
