Benton's

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

Benton's is a traditional jig that is typically played in 6/8 meter. The tune is set in the A Mixolydian mode, giving it a characteristic modal sound with a flattened seventh scale degree. Because its specific historical origins and composer are not well documented, performers focus on its lively tempo and rhythmic drive typical of traditional dance music.
