Brigg Fair

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Brigg Fair is a traditional English folk tune collected in Lincolnshire by Percy Grainger from the local singer Joseph Taylor. The tune is written in E minor with a 6/8 meter in a lively jig style that requires a buoyant and rhythmic delivery. Although its exact historical origins before Grainger's early twentieth-century collection remain uncertain, the melody gained widespread classical fame when Frederick Delius used it as the theme for his well-known orchestral variations.
