Piper's Daughter, The

Jig · 6/8 · D dorian

The traditional jig known as The Piper's Daughter is set in D dorian with a standard 6/8 meter, though its specific geographic origin and exact historical background are not documented.

Because reliable historical associations for the piece are lacking, performers focus primarily on its modal melody and spirited phrasing.
