Captain Morgan

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Captain Morgan is a traditional jig in the key of G major with a 6/8 meter, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune features the characteristic rhythmic drive and lively character typical of traditional Celtic dance music, making it well-suited for energetic performance on fiddle or flute. Due to the lack of early manuscript sources or documented historical associations, musicians approach the piece through modern tradition, emphasizing its flowing phrasing and spirited bounce.
