January 16th

Jig · 6/8 · D major

January 16th is a modern jig composed by the renowned Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland. Written in the key of D major with a standard 6/8 meter, the tune possesses a driving, lively character well-suited for energetic dance accompaniment and traditional sessions. Because its history consists primarily of its creation by Holland, specific historical associations beyond its prominent place in the contemporary Cape Breton repertoire are not widely established.
