Tundra, The

Polka · 2/4 · A mixolydian

The polka tune The Tundra was composed by Rachel Bell and is written in 2/4 time with an A mixolydian key signature. Because specific historical associations and regional origins for the tune are not widely documented, its character is best defined by the lively, rhythmic qualities typical of traditional-style polka accompaniment. Musicians typically perform it with a brisk, bouncy articulation that highlights the bright melodic phrasing characteristic of contemporary folk accordion and fiddle playing.
