This Day The Stag Must Die

Jig · 6/8 · A minor

This Day The Stag Must Die is a traditional Scottish 6/8 jig in A minor with an uncertain historical origin. Driven by a lively and rhythmic character, it is well suited for fiddle and bagpipe performance in standard dance settings. Because specific historical associations and composer details are not reliably documented, the tune is best defined by its engaging melodic contour and enduring presence in folk repertoires.
