"Flight of the Earls" is a traditional Irish tune that commemorates the departure of the Gaelic Earls from Ireland in 1607. The earls, including Hugh O'Neill and Rory O'Donnell, left for continental Europe following the Nine Years' War, also known as the Tyrone's Rebellion. The tune is often played on traditional Irish instruments such as the fiddle, tin whistle, and uilleann pipes. It has been adapted into various musical styles and has become a popular piece in the Irish music repertoire. The poignant melody reflects the historical significance of the event and captures the sense of loss and departure associated with the Flight of the Earls.
