Scartaglen, The

Slide · 12/8 · C major

The Scartaglen is a traditional Irish slide in 12/8 meter that is usually performed in the key of C major. Because the composer and exact historical origins of the tune are not reliably documented, musicians focus on its lively, rhythmic character typical of the Sliabh Luachra regional style. This energetic double jig tempo makes it a popular choice for both social dancing and traditional Irish music sessions.
