Fourpence Ha'penny Farthing

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Fourpence Ha'penny Farthing is a traditional Irish jig whose exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown, as historical records do not specify its creation date or early circulation. Set in D major with a standard 6/8 meter, the tune features the bouncy, triplet-based lilt characteristic of traditional dance music in that rhythm. It is typically played in a lively, rhythmic style suited for social dancing, and it is frequently performed in traditional sessions today.
