What the listed versions show

All three selected scores for The Humours Of Whiskey show an opening time signature of 9/8. Their opening key signatures are not identical: one shows two sharps, one shows one sharp with E minor noted, and one shows two sharps with B minor noted. Treat these as starting details and check the notation for later changes, phrasing, and range.

Choosing a version by key and notation

Because the opening keys differ, the version that suits a player may depend on the key that fits the instrument or voice. The supplied details do not identify instrumentation, arrangement type, or difficulty, so compare the actual notation rather than relying on the title alone. A score marked with a particular key signature at the start may still change key later.

Authorship and identity

The three selected listings credit no composer and give the artist as 'Misc tunes'. They do not establish who wrote, arranged, or first published The Humours Of Whiskey, nor do they confirm a single authoritative setting. Musicians should treat the title as a lead to the notation rather than as proof of a particular origin story.

Reading the 9/8 opening

A 9/8 time signature normally suggests compound triple metre, with nine eighth-note units grouped into three main beats. In practice, the beaming, accents, and melodic phrasing in the score should guide how the tune is felt and played. The time signature alone does not settle every rhythmic or stylistic detail.
