'Traditional Manx Tune' leaves out the six degree of the E Dorian scale (C#), making it a gapped scale; in this case, it’s a hexatonic scale using E, F#, G, A, B, and D. It was originally untitled and notated almost half a century ago from the old-style singing of Mrs. Clague, of Ballanorris, Isle of Man, by her husband, Dr. J. Clague. It was found on a loose sheet of paper and we don’t know how old this tune really is, or who composed it, but it is a genuine example of a Celtic modal tune using a gapped scale in Dorian mode.
