Australian Galopede

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Australian Galopede is a traditional folk tune played in a brisk 2/4 meter and the key of D major. The exact historical origins of this specific Australian variant remain uncertain, though it accompanies a lively, energetic bush dance of the same name. Its bright character and rhythmic drive are designed for fast-paced group dancing in colonial social settings.
