Hope, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Hope is a traditional 6/8 tune in D major composed by Sarah Blair. Because broader historical details and specific performance associations for the piece are not well established in standard sources, its exact background remains uncertain. Musically, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic melodic phrasing typical of standard fiddle repertoire in this meter.
