God Save Ireland

March · 4/4 · D major

God Save Ireland is a 4/4 march in D major composed as a nineteenth-century Irish nationalist ballad commemorating the Manchester Martyrs. The tune is traditionally played with a steady, resolute tempo and a proud, stirring character befitting its origins as an anthem of political remembrance. While its exact historical authorship as a traditional folk melody is uncertain, the song quickly became established as a prominent rallying cry in Irish political history.
