Brosna, The

Slide · 12/8 · A major

The Brosna is a traditional Irish slide in 12/8 meter that is usually played in the key of A major. Because its specific composer and early history are not reliably documented, musicians treat it as an enduring part of the traditional repertoire. Characterized by a bouncy and driving rhythm suited for dancing, it is typically performed with a light, bounding phrasing typical of the slide tradition in Sliabh Luachra and beyond.
