Jig and Reel

Jig and Reel are lively, spirited genres rooted in traditional Celtic music, often associated with the vibrant folk dances of Ireland and Scotland. Characterized by their quick tempos and distinct time signatures—jigs in a jaunty 6/8 and reels in a brisk 4/4—they feature intricate, melodic interplay typically led by fiddles, flutes, or accordions. These infectious tunes, brimming with rhythmic vitality, have transcended their rural origins to become staples in folk sessions worldwide, igniting dance floors and celebrating cultural heritage.
