Cuil Aodha, The

Polka · 2/4 · G major

The traditional Irish polka known as The Cuil Aodha takes its name from the West Cork Gaeltacht village of Coolea, though its exact origin and composer remain unknown. Set in 2/4 meter and G major, it features the bright, driving rhythm characteristic of the Sliabh Luachra regional style. Played with a lively and rhythmic lift, this tune is a staple of Munster session repertoires.
