Road To Sligo, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Road to Sligo is a well-known traditional Irish reel composed by the contemporary fiddler and flute player Brendan Tonra. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of D major, the tune exemplifies the lively and rhythmic character typical of standard session music. Because its precise historical associations outside of Tonra's authorship are largely unrecorded, performers approach it with the ornamented style and driving tempo common to modern traditional Irish fiddle playing.
