Between the Jigs and the Reels
A little bit of sunshine in winter
Sendetermin 04.12.2015 18:00 bis 19:00Inspired by Lubomyr Melnyk's Butterfly on the last programme, today's programme opens with the twinkling and bright sparkling notes of 'Sunshimmers', transporting us to the shores of a rippling lake under crisp blue winter skies, a bit like today. 'Ripples in a water scene' brings us back again at the end of the show, as darkness closes.

“ Between the Jigs and the Reels” – what’s in a name?!
“ Between the jigs and the reels” is an expression in Irish-English to mean “ between one thing and another”.
However and also importantly - in Irish traditional music a ‘jig’ and a ‘reel’ are two types of dances. A jig has three beats in a bar. A reel has four beats in a bar.
