Open scoreThe Little House Under The Hill sheet music is available in several versions with slightly different titles. The available scores all list an opening key of G major, but their opening metre differs: one is in 6/4 and two are in 6/8, including a version titled “Little House Under the Hill -- Jig.” No composer is credited on the scores, so the versions are best compared by title, metre, and notation rather than attribution.

The available scores for The Little House Under The Hill do not present identical opening notation. One score lists 6/4, while two list 6/8; the 6/8 group includes the version titled “Little House Under the Hill -- Jig.” All three list an opening key of G major. Use the listed metre and title wording as the clearest starting points when choosing between them.
Only one available score carries “Jig” in its title. That score also lists an opening time signature of 6/8. Another score also lists 6/8 but does not use the jig title, so the jig designation should not be assumed for every version of The Little House Under The Hill.
Every available score for The Little House Under The Hill lists an opening key of G major with a one-sharp key signature. This describes the opening only; the supplied details do not show whether any version changes key later.
The available scores do not credit a composer. No supporting references were supplied for the piece’s origin, original instrumentation or definitive metre, so the title variants and opening metre should be read as descriptions of individual scores rather than proof of a single authoritative version.
