Planxty Garvin

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Planxty Garvin is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter set in the key of E minor, though its exact composer and historical origin are not recorded. The tune features a lively and flowing character typical of traditional planxties, which were traditionally composed as celebratory pieces in honor of specific patrons or individuals. Because detailed historical records for this tune are scarce, players typically approach it with the rhythmic bounce and lyrical ornamentation standard to traditional Irish session music.
