What It Is

Jig · 6/8 · F dorian

Composed by renowned Northumbrian musician Kathryn Tickell, What It Is is a contemporary jig written in the unusual key of F dorian. The tune is characterized by the lively and rhythmic 6/8 meter typical of the jig form, demanding a deft, articulate touch to capture its distinctive modal flavor. As a modern addition to the traditional repertoire, it showcases Tickell's signature ability to blend contemporary composition with traditional Northumbrian styling.
