HEART OF A LOAF, THE. Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The slip jig was entered into the c. 1885 music manuscript collection of fiddler Francis Reynolds of Gaigue, Ballinamuck, County Longford. Researcher Conor Ward finds it related to "Hardiman the Fiddler" in both strains, which are set one step up from "Hardiman" albeit in the same key. This renders "Heart of a Loaf" in E minor or dorian, while "Hardiman" rests in G major.
