Fair Maid Of Whickham, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The traditional jig The Fair Maid Of Whickham is presented in six-eight meter and the key of G major with its exact origin and historical background remaining uncertain. The tune features a lively and rhythmic character well-suited to standard folk dance accompaniment and traditional instrumental performance. Because definitive historical records and composer attributions are lacking, musicians typically interpret the piece using standard stylistic conventions for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British Isles dance music.
