Hogties Reel
The tune is from an accordionist and may be his original piece.
If played on a whistle I believe it sounds fine. The low notes
are easier to find if played up a fifth up (A dorian on a D whistle).
Both positions afford an opportunity to try the fingers out on a sequence of notes that may be useful in other dorian situations.

The first half
the tune written here is only two of the four parts and is in the wrong key.

Perhaps "not in the key it was written in and I know two more parts" might be more precise. So, what key did Mr. Cunningham write it in and where are the two missing parts, szifty? We'd love to see them.

I think it was written in Ador. Sziffty, are you sure that there are two missng parts?

szifty is correct, although he/she might have pointed it out more delicately. The tune was composed with 4 parts, and in the scale of the Highland bagpipe, the equivalent of "A" to "a" on a whistle.
If some-one wants to check it , "Relativity" recorded it on their LP/now CD "Gathering Pace". The differences in the 3rd and 4th parts are very slight/subtle, and are quite often left out - eg by Brian Finnegan, whether by accident or design, I couldn't say.

I heard this tune in a set by the Poozies; it's addicting. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th parts sound like variations of a theme, rather than completely different parts, to me at least.
In the Poozies version, the chords are Am Em G Am G Em.... Is this the way phil wrote it? I'm going to have to try to find his book, I guess.
Very fun to pick on mandolin; great tune!

Youtube the treasure trove:

When exactly did Phil Cunningham compose this? It is a fairly recent tune anyhow. But here on the harp it sounds like it's a dozen score years old and more + glitters like sunshine on a summer ocean! An cór!

Mid 1980s.....
"Relativity" recorded it in 1987. See comments on the better transcription linked by "ceolachan" above.

The harp player here sounds like he might also be a piper, by the way he phrases his reel. There's a lot of swing in what he does and some funky medieval cum modern chords in it too. I'll adopt this version as my own til someone -at the session- can provide us with the original version.?
Note how this tune can either be played in D, E or A since it hasn’t got any thirds. I recommand A or D on the fiddle and definitely D on the the Uilleann pipe.

In D it also compares more easily w The Song Of The Chanter
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2082 with which it has many common features. (it sounds a bit as if it was rewritten w Part1 and 2 mixed together)
Both tunes are classic!
Here's a 3 part version in D, simply conflated, warts and all, from the above submissions + transposed:

The A version above has actually 4 parts, the 4th being a repeat of the 2d part.
Hogties was already recorded in 1984 by what I gather.
Check http://www.philcunningham.com/about/ out, it's worth it.
