Long Night, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · B minor

The traditional slip jig known as The Long Night is set in 9/8 meter and anchored in the key of B minor, with its exact historical origins and composer remaining unrecorded. The tune features the characteristic fluent and leaping rhythmic drive typical of the slip jig form, which invites an energetic yet fluid playing style. Due to the lack of early manuscript sources or documented historical associations, musicians approach the piece purely through the lens of modern traditional performance practice.
