Scarlet Clog

Hornpipe · 4/4 · F dorian

Scarlet Clog is a traditional hornpipe played in four-four time, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to a lack of early historical documentation. The tune is set in the uncommon key of F dorian, giving it a distinctive modal flavor and a steady, rhythmic character suited for traditional instrumental performance. Because reliable historical associations have not been established for this piece, musicians approach it primarily as a regional dance tune focusing on lively articulation and rhythmic drive.
