Bay De Verde Close In Tune

Polka · 2/4 · B minor

Bay De Verde Close In Tune is a traditional Newfoundland polka whose specific composer and exact historical origins remain undocumented. Set in two-four meter and the key of B minor, it features the driving rhythm and upbeat character typical of traditional outport accordion and fiddle music. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not well established, its significance rests on its role as a lively representative of regional Newfoundland traditional repertoire.
