Brisk Young Lads, The

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

The Brisk Young Lads is a traditional Scottish tune of uncertain historical origin, though early versions appear in eighteenth-century collections such as those of Playford and Johnson. Written in 6/8 meter and A minor, it functions as a lively jig with a brisk, cheerful character suited for energetic social dancing. Due to the lack of a verified composer or specific historical association, the tune is best known through its enduring presence in traditional instrumental and dance repertoires.
