Hunter's Second Purse, The

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

The Hunter's Second Purse is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and the key of A minor, though its specific geographic origin and historical background remain uncertain. Because detailed historical associations and composer attributions are not established for this tune, its identity is preserved entirely through performance practice in Irish traditional music sessions. Musically, it is characterized by an energetic and driving rhythmic pulse that suits the lively foot-tapping style typical of traditional double jigs.
