Back to Chorus Jig (6)
CHORUS JIG [6] (Damhsa Loineach). Irish, Reel (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCB'B'. The melody is dissimilar to other tunes with this title and O'Neill (1910) says it is a version of the "Rocks of Cashel." Although the tune is labeled a reel it converts easily into a 6/8 form with only a slight rhythmic alteration (as O'Sullivan {1983} says, "if the rhythm is 'swung' slightly the meter changes to 12/8 time and the piece takes on the movement of a single jig").
Source for notated version: the Irish collector Edward Bunting noted the tune from "Macdonnell, the piper in 1797."
