Over The Hills And Far Away sheet music

Check the version before choosing

The title appears here with different credits: one score is labelled Traditional, while two are filed under Misc tunes. Use the title, composer or arranger credit, instrumentation and notation on the score to confirm that it matches the version you need; the shared title alone is not enough.

What the listed scores show

All three scores list an opening key of G major (one sharp) and an opening time signature of 4/4. Two listings give 364 notes and about 128 seconds; the third gives 170 notes and about 64 seconds. These are score-specific listing details, not evidence of difficulty or a formal grade.

Choosing between available scores

If you specifically want a traditional version, the listing that names Traditional is the clearest starting point, but verify the actual notation and credits. For any other version, match the composer, arranger, instrument and style you require rather than assuming all scores under the title represent the same piece.

Evidence limits

No authoritative reference material was available for this page, so the historical origin, composer, first publication, lyrics and original instrumentation of Over the Hills and Far Away cannot be confirmed here. Treat the listed key, timing and length as details of individual scores and consult a reliable edition or reference for scholarly or performance-critical decisions.
