New Moon, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The New Moon is a traditional hornpipe in four-four time and G major, with its specific composer and exact geographical origin remaining unrecorded. Played at a brisk and lively tempo, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and buoyant phrasing typical of traditional dance music in this genre. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this setting are not documented, musicians value the tune primarily for its idiomatic melodic appeal and standard session versatility.
