Erchless Scout, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · D minor

The traditional-style slip jig The Erchless Scout in 9/8 meter in D minor was composed by contemporary Scottish fiddle player Duncan Chisholm. Driven by a lively and rhythmic character well-suited to the slip jig form, it is typically played with the expressive phrasing and ornamentations characteristic of modern Scottish fiddle music. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition remain unrecorded, the tune is best known through its circulation in contemporary fiddle repertoires and recordings.
