Green Tree, The

Jig · 6/8 · G minor

The Green Tree is a traditional jig in six-eight time set in the key of G minor with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded by history. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic structure typical of the dance form, it is commonly performed with the bouncy articulation and spirited ornamentation favored in traditional fiddle playing. Because specific historical associations or early printed sources for the tune are not well established, its performance tradition relies largely on modern revival repertoires.
