Garrett County

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A dorian

Garrett County is a traditional American hornpipe in 4/4 time and the A Dorian mode, though its specific composer and regional origin remain uncertain. It is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm and a lyrical melodic contour that fits the standard style of old-time and contra dance fiddling. The tune is commonly played with a bouncing, dotted-eighth and sixteenth-note swing to suit energetic traditional dance accompaniment.
