Hags Money, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The traditional Irish jig known as The Hags Money is played in six-eight meter and typically set in the key of G major. Because its composer and exact geographical origin are not historically documented, the tune is best defined by its lively and rhythmic character suited for traditional dance accompaniment. Like many standard items in the traditional repertoire, it is frequently performed in session settings with a driving, ornamented style typical of Irish dance music.
