Red River Jig

Three-two · 3/2 · D major

The Red River Jig is a well-known traditional Métis fiddle tune deeply rooted in the Canadian Red River settlement. Set in D major with a 3/2 meter and a distinctive three-two rhythm, the tune is traditionally played at a lively tempo to accompany vigorous foot-stepping dance competitions. Because its exact composer and early creation date remain historically undocumented, the tune's early origins are passed down primarily through oral tradition and community performance.
