Planxty Crilly

Jig · 6/8 · C dorian

Planxty Crilly is a traditional Irish jig composed in the early eighteenth century by the blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan. Written in the key of C dorian with a 6/8 meter, the tune features the characteristic lyrical yet flowing melodic contours typical of O'Carolan's planxties. Specific historical associations for the piece remain undocumented, so musicians focus on bringing out its graceful character through expressive ornamentation and a moderate dance tempo.
