Tune of the Day: Sergeant Stack's Favorite

Traditional Irish jig

This lively jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. The Sergeant Stack of the title was Patrick Stack, who worked together with O'Neill in the Chicago Police force.

Musician and researcher Paul de Grae observes that “the recurring feature of four notes in the time of three is carefully notated, and must have been a prominent feature of Stack's playing”.
