Brian Boru's March is a traditional Irish tune.

Brian Boru was a High King of Ireland who founded the O'Brien dynasty.[1]

In 1842, a version of the song was published by Dublin Monthly Magazine.[2] In 1969, the song was recorded by The Chieftains.[3] Horslips used it in 1976, as the intro and basis for "Trouble (With a Capital T)" from the album The Book of Invasions.[4]
