Added by magataganm, 14 Mar 2013 "Brian Boru's March" is a traditional Irish tune typically played with the Celtic Harp. Brian Boru (c. 941 – 1014, Old Irish: Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig; Middle Irish: Brian Bóruma; modern Irish: Brian Bóroimhe) was an Irish king who ended the domination of the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill. Building on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain, Brian first made himself King of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, making himself ruler of the south of Ireland. He is the founder of the O'Brien dynasty. His name is remembered in the title of one of the oldest tunes in Ireland's traditional repertoire: "Brian Boru's March". It is still widely played by traditional Irish musicians. Although this work was originally written for Voice and Folk Instruments, I created this arrangement for Flute, Oboe and Concert (Pedal) Harp. Sheet central : | Brian Boru (3 sheet music) | |
