Irish Hop Pickers, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

The Irish Hop Pickers is a traditional slip jig in nine-eight meter, though its specific geographical origins and composer remain unrecorded. It is set in the key of G major and features the characteristic driving, triplet-based rhythm common to dance tunes in this metric structure. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not well established, its enduring appeal rests on its lively melodic character and suitability for traditional Irish step dancing.
