Tommy Doucet's Lancers

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Tommy Doucet's Lancers is a traditional 6/8 jig in A major associated with the Acadian repertoire of Nova Scotia, though its exact historical origins and composer remain unrecorded. Played with the driving rhythm and buoyant phrasing typical of Maritime fiddle music, it is structured to accompany traditional group dances. Because detailed historical documentation for the tune is lacking, its musical character and regional transmission within the Acadian fiddle tradition are its defining features.
