Imperial Clog

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Imperial Clog is a traditional English hornpipe in D major with an uncertain exact origin. The tune features the steady 4/4 meter and brisk, rhythmic character typical of nineteenth-century clog dances designed for percussive footwork. Because reliable historical documentation for this specific setting is sparse, musicians generally perform it with the lively phrasing and articulation characteristic of traditional northern English instrumental dance music.
