Heuston Fox, The

Jig · 6/8 · A major

The Heuston Fox, The is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and A major that circulates widely in Irish traditional music sessions. Because specific historical associations and the original composer are not documented, musicians approach the tune as an anonymous traditional piece. It is typically played with a lively, rhythmic bounce that highlights the characteristic phrasing and triplet feel common to traditional double jigs.
