Tommy Peoples' sheet music

The title Tommy Peoples' covers more than one score here: a reel in 2/2, a jig in 6/8, and a 3/4 setting in D major. Because the same name can be attached to different tunes or settings, compare metre, key and opening before choosing sheet music.

Start with the metre

The clearest difference among the Tommy Peoples' scores is metre. The score titled Tommy Peoples' Reel is in 2/2, the one titled Tommy Peoples' Jig is in 6/8, and the third score is in 3/4. If you need a particular dance rhythm, use the metre to narrow the choice rather than relying on the name alone.

Check the key against your group

The reel and jig scores are in G major (one sharp), while the 3/4 score is in D major (two sharps). When playing with others, confirm the key before you start; a setting in the wrong key can be awkward for fixed-pitch instruments or for a singer.

Do not assume one tune

The three scores do not establish whether Tommy Peoples' is one tune with variants or several distinct pieces. Compare the first few bars and the metre; if the openings differ, treat them as separate tunes until you have evidence otherwise.

Read the credits cautiously

No composer is credited on these scores, and the titles do not state instrumentation or region. Use the notation as a working setting, and look for an attributed edition if you need a verified source for performance or study.

Who composed Tommy Peoples'?
