Sweet Molly sheet music

Sweet Molly appears in several sheet-music versions with different opening keys and time signatures. The available records do not name a composer or identify the piece’s origin, so this page concentrates on what can be compared in the scores themselves: key, metre and listed length.

Comparing the available versions

The listed Sweet Molly scores are not identical in their opening details. Two records give an opening key signature of one sharp (E minor), one in 2/2 and one in 4/4, while a third gives three sharps (A major) in 6/8. These details are useful starting points when matching a score to a particular source, arrangement or ensemble, but an opening signature does not describe the whole piece.

What the scores do not establish

No composer is named for Sweet Molly in these records, and the credit ‘Misc tunes’ does not identify an author. Instrumentation is also unspecified, so the notation itself should be checked before choosing a version for a particular instrument. The records do not confirm whether all three scores represent the same version of the piece.

Using key and metre to choose

If a performer needs a version beginning in E minor, two listed scores provide that opening key; if a compound metre is required, one score lists 6/8. For a simple duple opening, the 2/2 and 4/4 versions are the relevant choices. These are practical selection points, not evidence that one version is more authoritative than another.

Listed length and scope

The recorded durations range from about 9 seconds to about 64 seconds, with note counts from 81 to 132. Those figures describe individual scores and may not reflect a complete performance or a definitive performing length, so they should be treated cautiously rather than as a reliable indication of difficulty or completeness.
