Top Of The Hill, The

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

The traditional jig known as The Top Of The Hill is of uncertain geographical origin and has no verified composer. Written in 6/8 meter and set in the A dorian mode, the tune features a lively and characteristic triple-meter rhythm typical of standard Irish dance music. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript records for this specific title are scarce, musicians generally approach it with the standard ornamentation, drive, and phrasing common to traditional folk playing.
