Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

The First Steps is a traditional 6/8 jig in the A Mixolydian mode with an unrecorded specific origin and composer. Because its precise historical background and any reliable early associations are not established, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic character and standard instrumental jig structure. It is typically played in a spirited, driving style common to traditional Celtic and Irish dance music sessions.
