The Kid On The Mountain sheet music

What the available scores show

The versions of The Kid on the Mountain listed here share a 9/8 opening time signature and a one-sharp opening key signature. One score is titled as a slip jig, and one is marked with bagpipe as its score part. The versions identify G major and E minor openings, while a third gives only a one-sharp signature.

Choosing between the versions

If bagpipe is your instrument, the score marked for bagpipe is the clearest match among these versions. If the opening key matters for your instrument or session, compare the G major and E minor versions; the third score specifies only a one-sharp signature. The available information does not show whether these are transpositions of one arrangement or separate settings.

What is not established

The available scores do not name a composer and do not provide enough information to confirm the tune’s origin, its complete history, or whether all versions represent the same setting. Treat the key, instrumentation, and slip-jig title as details of the individual scores rather than as a full editorial description of the tune.
