American Wake (The Nova Scotia Set)
American Wake (The Nova Scotia Set) is a polka composed by Bill Whelan that is set in 2/4 meter and the A mixolydian mode. Because specific historical associations and traditional backgrounds for this composition are not widely documented, it is best appreciated through its lively modern instrumental character. The tune is typically played with the bright, driving articulation and rhythm characteristic of contemporary Irish polka performances.
