Sour Milk, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The traditional Irish jig known as The Sour Milk is played in six-eight meter and typically performed in the key of D major. Because its composer and exact geographical origins are not historically documented, the tune is best defined by its lively folk character and standard session performance style. Musically, it follows the spirited melodic contour typical of upbeat double jigs found in traditional repertoire collections.
