Douglas Hyde, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The traditional Irish jig known as The Douglas Hyde is set in the key of G major with a standard 6/8 meter. Because the composer and exact historical origins of the tune are not firmly documented, it is primarily preserved through oral tradition and standard session repertoires. This lively double jig exhibits a typical energetic character well-suited for traditional dancing and instrumental ornamentation on fiddle or flute.
