Tune of the Day: Stay Where You Are
Traditional Irish jig
This traditional Irish air, usually set as a jig, can be found under a few different titles. Its earliest appearance is probably as “Shun the Corner” in Smollet Holden's A Collection of Favourite Irish Airs, published in London around 1841. The present setting, more elaborated, is taken from O'Neill's The Dance Music of Ireland (1907).
