Siúil A Ghrá

Barndance · 4/4 · B minor

Siúil A Ghrá is a traditional Irish air with roots in the seventeenth-century Jacobite period, though its exact origins and composer remain uncertain. Played here as a 4/4 barndance in B minor, the tune features a steady, rhythmic bounce that contrasts with its characteristically melancholic and haunting melody. The song's historical associations are deeply tied to themes of loss and displacement during the Wild Geese era, when many Irish soldiers left to serve in continental armies.
