Ballydesmond, The
The Ballydesmond is a traditional Irish polka in 2/4 meter, originating from the Sliabh Luachra region of County Cork and County Kerry. Because the composer is not recorded, the tune has been passed down through generations via oral tradition as part of the vibrant rural dance repertoire of southwestern Ireland. Played in a lively and rhythmic style suited for step dancing, it is typically performed in A dorian mode with an upbeat and driving character.
