Runaway, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Runaway is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and D major whose specific composer and early historical origins are not reliably established. It is characterized by a lively, energetic rhythm and a playful melodic contour well-suited to standard fiddle and session playing styles. Because detailed historical associations for this tune are lacking in the standard traditional repertoire, its performance relies entirely on established regional session conventions and stylistic ornamentation.
