Farewell To The Corncrake

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Farewell To The Corncrake is a 6/8 jig in the key of G major composed by the well-regarded Irish fiddler Connie O'Connell. As a modern composition in the traditional idiom, it reflects the lively rhythm and lyrical melodic phrasing characteristic of contemporary West Cork fiddle playing. Because it is a recently authored tune rather than an older piece of uncertain provenance, it lacks deep historical associations and is primarily valued for its engaging and idiomatic contribution to the modern session repertoire.
