Dusty Miller, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · A major

The Dusty Miller is a traditional British tune that dates back at least to the seventeenth century, appearing in early editions of John Playford's Dancing Master. Written in A major with a lively 9/8 meter, it is structured as a slip jig that possesses a bright and rustic character well-suited for country dancing. While its exact initial composer and origin remain uncertain, the melody is historically notable for being referenced in Robert Burns's poetry and various early fiddle manuscripts.
