Sturgeon, The

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

The Sturgeon is a traditional 6/8 jig set in the key of E minor, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. Played with the lively and rhythmic bounce characteristic of the jig form, it is well suited for both social dancing and traditional instrumental sessions. Because detailed historical records and early associations for this tune are not established, musicians focus on its driving momentum and modal melody to shape their performances.
