Old Man, The
The jig known as The Old Man is a traditional-style tune set in 6/8 meter and B minor. Composed by Hans Jørgen Jensen, the piece reflects standard Scandinavian fiddle traditions in its structured melody and harmonic choices. Because specific historical associations and regional backgrounds are not well documented for this composition, performers approach the tune primarily through its lively rhythmic drive and expressive minor-key character.
