Hasty Retreat, The

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

The Hasty Retreat is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight meter and the key of E minor with an uncertain exact origin. Played with a lively and brisk character, it is well-suited to the spirited phrasing typical of traditional dance accompaniment. Because specific historical associations and composer details are not well established, its performance relies on the stylistic conventions of standard traditional session playing.
