Frieze Breeches, The

Slide · 12/8 · D mixolydian

The traditional Irish slide known as The Frieze Breeches has an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer. Written in 12/8 meter and usually played in D mixolydian, the tune features a bouncing, energetic rhythm characteristic of the Munster sliding tradition. Because its exact historical background is not established, the tune is best defined by its lively character and frequent appearance in traditional Irish session repertoires.
