Matelot, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Matelot, The is a traditional jig notated in six-eight meter and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution. Because its specific historical origins and early background are not reliably documented, musicians focus primarily on its lively dance character and standard folk fiddle styling. It is typically played with a bouncy rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional British and Irish dance repertoire.
