John O'Dwyer Of The Glen

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

John O'Dwyer of the Glen is a traditional Irish air associated with the historical figure Seán Ó Duibhir an Ghleanna, an 17th-century rapparee who fought during the Williamite War in Ireland. The tune is traditionally played as a slow air or waltz in three-four time within a D major key signature. Its melancholic and expressive character reflects the lamenting tone common to traditional Irish compositions of the period.
