Tune properties and standard notation


JACOB HALL'S JIG. AKA and see "Under and Over." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). F Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody dates to 1695. "Under and Over" is the older title. "Jacob Hall's Jig" is properly the name of another tune, however, "Over and Under" was used as a vehicle for the dance Jacob Hall's Jig, and the latter name stuck through association with the dance. It may have been substituted by Cecil Sharp.
