Knockard Elf, The

Reel · 4/4 · D dorian

The reel known as The Knockard Elf is a contemporary composition in 4/4 meter written by Stevie Saint. It is set in the D dorian mode and is typically played with the lively character and rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional Scottish and Irish dance music. Because it is a modern tune by a known writer, it lacks the deep historical associations and anonymous oral-tradition background of older folk melodies.
