Hawthorn Hedge, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Hawthorn Hedge is a traditional-style jig composed by Sean Ryan, set in the key of D major with a 6/8 meter. Because detailed historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented for this piece, its performance relies on the standard lively and flowing character typical of modern Irish jigs. Musicians typically play it with a rhythmic bounce that emphasizes the compound meter characteristic of dance tunes in this genre.
