Sister, The

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

The traditional jig known as Sister, The was composed by the Irish fiddler Joe Liddy, who lived in County Leitrim. Written in 6/8 meter and set in A dorian, the tune features a lively and distinctively regional melodic character typical of rural traditional Irish instrumental music. Because specific historical associations and exact composition dates for the piece are not documented, the tune is best known through its preservation in local performance traditions.
