Tune of the Day: The Galloping Young Thing

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. It had previously appeared in Petrie's Complete Collection of Irish Music (London, 1905), where it is said to be a Cork jig obtained from Paddy Carew's mid-19th-century manuscript.
