High Hills Of Tara, The

Barndance · 4/4 · G dorian

The High Hills of Tara is a traditional Irish barndance in 4/4 time and G dorian mode, with its exact composer and specific historical origins remaining unrecorded. Because its precise historical background is uncertain, the tune is best defined by its lively, rhythmic character that suits traditional dance accompaniments. Played in a spirited, steady tempo typical of the barndance genre, it features an engaging melodic contour that highlights the characteristic flattened sevenths of its modal key.
