BRIAN THE BRAVE [3] (Briain Buaideac). Irish, Air (4/4 time, "tenderly"). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Appears to be a variation of the hornpipe melodies in #1 and #2. Thomas Moore composed his song "Remember the Glories of Brian the Brave" to this tune.

Source for notated version: Chicago fiddler John McFadden, originally from County Mayo, who had a large repertoire and whose playing O'Neill admired [O'Neill].

Printed source: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 255, p. 44.
