Mary Cotter

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Composed by Paul Cranford, Mary Cotter is a traditional-style jig from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Written in the key of A major with a standard 6/8 meter, the tune features an upbeat, driving character idiomatic of eastern Canadian fiddle music. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition are not widely documented, the tune is best known through modern recordings and session play within the Cape Breton repertoire.
