Random, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Random is a traditional tune in six-eight meter and the key of D major. It is credited to the well-known nineteenth-century composer James Hill, who was a prominent fiddler and composer of traditional dance music in the northeast of England. Because specific historical associations beyond Hill's authorship are largely unrecorded, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic melodic phrasing typical of northern English fiddle repertoire.
