Curlews, The

Jig · 6/8 · B minor

The Curlews, The is a traditional Irish jig set in six-eight meter and the key of B minor, with its exact composer and historical origins remaining unrecorded. As a double jig, it possesses the characteristic lively compound-duple rhythm and flowing melodic contour typical of traditional fiddle and flute repertoire. The tune is commonly performed in session settings with an energetic yet graceful style that suits the melancholic tonality of its minor key.
