St. John's

Jig · 6/8 · D dorian

St. John's is a traditional 6/8 jig set in the D dorian mode, with its exact geographic origin and historical background remaining uncertain in traditional music sources. The tune features the characteristic skipping rhythm and lively, driving character typical of Irish and Celtic jigs, making it well suited for lively social dancing and session playing. Because specific historical associations and composer attributions are not established for this piece, musicians interpret it with a traditional, rhythmically focused style that highlights its modal melody and persistent dance pulse.
