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!
