Paddy Taylor's sheet music

Paddy Taylor's sheet music is listed here in three versions, all opening in D major. Two versions are notated in 4/4 and one in 6/8. No composer is credited in the available records, so the clearest way to compare the scores is by key and metre rather than by attribution.

Title and attribution

All three listed scores carry the title Paddy Taylor's, and none names a composer. The title alone does not establish who wrote the tune or whether the settings are closely related. Treat the composer as unidentified rather than assuming a traditional origin.

Key and metre at a glance

Every listed version of Paddy Taylor's opens with a two-sharp key signature, indicating D major. Two versions use 4/4 and one uses 6/8. That difference in metre is the clearest practical distinction between the available scores.

Choosing between the listed versions

Compare the opening key and time signature first. If you need a 4/4 reading of Paddy Taylor's, two listed versions fit that description; if you need a 6/8 reading, one does. The available records do not identify an authoritative original, a named edition or a difficulty level, so those points require separate verification.

What the records do not settle

The available information does not confirm the tune's genre, original instrumentation or which metre is primary. It also does not explain whether the three settings represent the same tune, variant versions or different arrangements. The presence of multiple scores is not proof of multiple distinct works.
