Sir Aldingar

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

Sir Aldingar is a traditional tune of uncertain specific origin, though its title links it to a well-known British ballad subject of medieval betrayal and trial by combat. Set in A minor with a 6/8 meter, it is structured as a lively jig with a narrative character well suited for energetic instrumental performance. Because historical details regarding its exact composition remain obscure, musicians typically interpret the piece through standard traditional folk playing styles.
