Old New Year
Old New Year is a modern reel composed by Scottish accordionist and pianist Donald Shaw, best known as a founding member of the folk band Capercaillie. Written in 4/4 meter and set in E minor, the tune features an energetic and contemporary Celtic-rock sensibility that highlights Shaw's distinctive harmonically rich writing style. While it lacks deep historical associations due to its modern composition, it has become a popular addition to contemporary traditional sessions and ensemble repertoires.
