Lonely Mountain, The

Jig · 6/8 · G minor

The jig known as The Lonely Mountain is a contemporary composition in six-eight meter written in the key of G minor by Guillaume Sparrow-Pepin. Because traditional historical associations for the tune are not established, its background remains rooted in its modern composition rather than older folklore. Musically, the piece features the characteristic lively rhythm and driving momentum typical of a modern jig while maintaining the moody atmosphere suggested by its minor key.
