The Irish Washerwoman is one of the most recognized of Irish jigs. A jig is a folk dance that is typically very fast and spirited, and is usually in 6/8, 9/8, or 12/8 time. The jig originated in 16th century England, and became popular in Ireland and Scotland in the 17th century. In addition to being known as a fiddle tune, American composer Leroy Anderson arranged the tune for the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1947, and English composer Gustav Holst used a simple version on the tune, known as The Dargason, in his composition for orchestra, St. Paul's Suite.
