Key and metre in the listed scores

Every selected score of The Friendly Visit opens with a one-sharp key signature, identified as G major. The metre is not uniform: one score opens in 2/2 and two open in 4/4. Those details describe the opening of each score; check the full notation for any later changes.

Comparing tempo and setting

Tempo values in the selected scores range from 110 BPM to 200 BPM, and one entry has no tempo value. The listings show distinct tempo values rather than one fixed speed. Use the printed or listed tempo as a starting point and adjust to your group and context.

Attribution and repertoire

The selected entries credit no named composer, using 'Trad.' or 'Misc Traditional' instead, and they are grouped under folk. Present The Friendly Visit as a traditional piece unless you can verify a specific attribution elsewhere. The listings do not establish a tune type, region of origin, or first publication.

Choosing a score

Because the available listings do not state instrumentation or difficulty, choose by the details that are visible: opening key, metre, tempo and the notation itself. If you need a particular instrument or ensemble, treat the title alone as insufficient and check the score's contents before relying on it.
