Jota Da Maia

Waltz · 3/4 · G major

Jota Da Maia is a traditional tune of uncertain historical origin performed in a 3/4 meter. The piece is set in G major and takes the musical form of a waltz rather than the faster, duple-meter jota typically implied by its name. Because detailed historical associations and composer information are not established for this tune, its performance style relies primarily on the expressive phrasing and graceful lilt characteristic of traditional European waltzes.
