Bard Of Armagh, The

Waltz · 3/4 · B minor

The Bard of Armagh is a well-known traditional Irish air and song of uncertain precise origin, often performed in a gentle 3/4 waltz meter. The melody is characterized by a plaintive, lyrical quality in B minor that evokes the melancholy spirit of traditional street balladry. Because historical records regarding its earliest composition remain sparse, it is best appreciated through its enduring place in the classic Irish folk repertoire.
