Life Is All Chequered

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Life Is All Chequered is a traditional double jig notated in G major with a standard 6/8 meter. Because the composer and exact historical origins are not recorded, the tune is best known through its circulation in nineteenth-century Irish music collections. It features a lively, upbeat character well-suited to the rhythmic phrasing and ornamentation typical of traditional Irish dance playing.
