Lady Dillon

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Composed by the blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan, Lady Dillon is a traditional piece from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Written in G major with a lively 6/8 meter, this jig exhibits the characteristically graceful and melodic style of its maker. While specific historical associations for the title subject are uncertain, the piece remains a celebrated part of the O'Carolan canon preserved in early Irish music collections.
