Over The Hills And Far Away

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Over The Hills And Far Away is a traditional tune with an uncertain exact origin and history beyond its long-standing presence in folk repertoires. Set in six-eight meter and the key of E minor, it is played as a lively jig with a bouncing and rhythmic character well-suited for dancing. Because historical documentation for the tune is sparse, musicians focus on its spirited melodic phrasing and energetic traditional playing style.
