Dandy, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Dandy is a lively jig composed in D major by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland. Written in 6/8 meter, the tune features a bouncy and energetic character that demands a driving bow stroke and a rhythmic lift typical of traditional Scottish-derived fiddling. While its exact date of composition is uncertain, the piece has become a beloved standard in modern Celtic music sessions and concert repertoires.
