Smell Of The Bog, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Smell Of The Bog, The is a traditional hornpipe in 4/4 time and G major whose exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to the lack of early documented sources. Like many traditional tunes of this genre, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and steady, moderate tempo typical of Irish and British dance music. Because of its obscure history, players generally approach it with a flexible style that emphasizes the bright melodic contours of the G major scale.
