Harvest, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Harvest is a modern composition in 6/8 meter in the key of D major written by the Irish composer Bill Whelan. Composed in a traditional Irish style, the piece features the lively compound duple rhythm and energetic character typical of standard dance tunes. Because it is a contemporary theatrical composition rather than an older folk tune, it lacks a traditional historical background or association.
