Sliabh Na mBan

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Sliabh Na mBan is a traditional Irish hornpipe in G major and 4/4 meter, named after the mountain in County Tipperary associated with the 1798 rebellion and ancient mythology. Because the exact composer is not recorded, the tune is passed down through the oral tradition as a classic instrumental piece in the Irish repertoire. It is typically performed with the lively, punctuated rhythm and ornamentations characteristic of traditional hornpipes, making it a favorite among fiddle and flute players.
