Whippet, The

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

The jig known as The Whippet was composed by Haley Richardson, a talented contemporary fiddler recognized in the tradition. Set in A Dorian with a 6/8 meter, the tune is played with a lively rhythm and a driving, energetic character typical of modern competition-style fiddling. While specific historical associations or older traditional backgrounds are not established for this recent composition, it has quickly become a notable addition to contemporary fiddle repertoires.
