Sally Gardens, The

March · 4/4 · D major

The traditional Irish tune known as The Sally Gardens is associated with Yeats's famous poem of the same name, though the exact origins and date of the melody remain historically uncertain. Typically performed as a lively 4/4 march in the key of D major, it features a brisk tempo and an uplifting character well suited to traditional ensemble playing. Because the composer is not supplied, the tune is best understood as part of the broader anonymously composed Irish folk heritage.
