Heartbreak Hill
Heartbreak Hill is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and B minor with no verified composer attribution. Played with a lively yet melancholy character, this traditional tune features the characteristic skipping rhythm and phrasing typical of Irish dance music in a minor key. Because specific historical associations and exact regional origins are not historically documented, the tune is best known through its circulation in modern traditional session repertoires.
