New Land, The

Waltz · 3/4 · F major

Composed by contemporary Cape Breton fiddler and luthier Otis Tomas, The New Land is a graceful 3/4 waltz set in the key of F major. The tune features a lyrical and expressive melodic character that suits the warm, resonant tone typical of traditional East Coast fiddling. Because its specific historical associations and exact date of composition remain undocumented, its appeal rests entirely on its evocative modern-traditional musical qualities.
