Conna, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

Composed by John Noctor, The Conna is an Irish slide traditionally played in the 12/8 meter characteristic of Sliabh Luachra dance music. Because detailed historical records for the tune are scarce, its exact date of composition remains uncertain, but it has become a popular fixture in the modern traditional repertoire. Characterized by its lively D major tonality and upbeat tempo, it is typically performed with the driving, rhythmic bowings and ornamented phrasing essential to traditional slide playing.
