Bernard Murphy's

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Bernard Murphy's is a lively 2/4 polka composed in D major by the accordion player John Whelan. Because specific historical associations and older traditional backgrounds for this tune are not well documented, its identity is anchored primarily by Whelan's contemporary authorship. The piece is typically played with a bright, driving rhythm and crisp articulation that suits rapid traditional Irish dance accompaniment.
