Halting, The

March · 4/4 · A dorian

The Halting is a traditional 4/4 march in the A dorian mode with an origin and composer that are not documented in standard historical records. Because its specific background and historical associations are uncertain, the tune is best known through its musical character as a steady, measured instrumental piece suited for traditional playing styles. Its structured meter and minor-key melody provide a driving yet deliberate pace characteristic of classic Irish marching tunes.
