Lively Wagtail, The
The Lively Wagtail is a traditional-style reel in 4/4 meter and D major composed by the contemporary flute player Marcus Hernon. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition are not widely documented for this piece, its background is best understood through its place in modern Irish traditional repertoire. Musically, it is characterized by an upbeat, lively tempo and a bright melodic shape that invites energetic session playing.
