Mattabasset

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

Mattabasset is a traditional jig in six-eight meter set in the key of A minor, with its exact origins and composer remaining unverified by historical records. The tune features a lively and rhythmic character well-suited for traditional fiddle and dance accompaniments. Because specific historical associations and early documentation are lacking, musicians focus on its energetic melodic phrasing and standard modal structure during performance.
