Nova Scotia, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Composed by Sean Ryan, The Nova Scotia is an Irish jig written in the key of G major with a 6/8 meter. Because the tune is a modern composition by a well-known fiddler rather than an anonymous folk piece from the province in its title, its historical background is rooted in the contemporary traditional Irish repertoire. It is typically played in a lively and rhythmic style characteristic of modern traditional jig playing.
