Bawnard, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

The traditional slide known as The Bawnard is in D major and features a lively 12/8 meter typical of Irish dance music. Composed by Bill Black, the tune is structured in two parts that invite a bright and rhythmic playing style suited for performance on the fiddle or accordion. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition remain uncertain beyond its authorship, the tune's enduring popularity relies entirely on its engaging melodic character within the traditional repertoire.
