Thief Lane

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Thief Lane is an Irish double jig in six-eight meter and the key of E minor, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain untracked by historical record. The tune is typically played with a lively, rhythmic bounce that suits the energetic movement characteristic of traditional social dancing. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript sources for the piece are not well established, its performance relies on contemporary traditional ensemble and session practices.
