Northern Flicker, The

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

The Northern Flicker, The is a traditional reel in 4/4 time and E Dorian mode with no verified composer or historical associations on record. Because its specific historical background and exact origin are uncertain, its musical character is defined by its lively tempo and rhythmic drive suited for dancing. This energetic fiddle tune is typically played with a bright, bouncing bow style that highlights the characteristic modal twists of the E Dorian melody.
