Christmas Day
Christmas Day is a lively six-eight jig composed in D major by Father P.J. Kelly. Because broader historical details and specific regional origins for the tune remain uncertain, its character is best defined by its spirited traditional Irish dance rhythm and uplifting melodic contour. Played with the characteristic articulation and swing of standard session music, it is frequently featured in modern performances of seasonal and festive Irish repertoire.
