New Year, The

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

The New Year is a 6/8 jig in E minor composed by Mark Priestley. Because specific historical associations and regional origins for the tune are not extensively documented, its background remains primarily tied to contemporary traditional-style composition. The melody features the characteristic compound rhythm and lively character typical of an Irish-style jig, making it well-suited for traditional ensemble playing.
