Every now and then I like to try my hand at something at little
different from my usual fare.

This came together rather quickly. In two days in fact.

It is inspired by a traditional Irish piece called "Brian Boru's March,"
which was covered on Clannad's self-titled debut album.

From WIKIPEDIA:
"Brian Bóramha (c. 941 – 23 April 1014) was the High King of Ireland
from 1002 to 1014. He ended the domination of the High Kingship
of Ireland by the Uí Néill, and is likely responsible for ending
Viking invasions of Ireland."

According to one tradition he was slain at the Battle of Clontarf.

I began with the basic theme and then introduced my own variations,
thus creating an entirely new piece.

I hope I didn't butcher it TOO badly!

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Be well my friends!

Thanks Kenneth. Not intended as a cover of, but rather a companion to
"Brian Boru's March." I think the original was written for the harp. My tune
was obviously NOT. Lol...

Don’t hear many pure instrumentals from you so this is a treat or you could say a feast. Like the swirling rhythms and the brooding quality of it. Good one Mike.

Nice!
Loved the instumentation on this. Gave it a very early 70s prog rock feel that worked very well with the lilting nature of the tune.
Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Diversity is the spice of life.  Didn't sound like a butcher job to me.  Pretty cool.  Something about this one grabbed me, perhaps because of it's strongly unique flavor.
