Ballydesmond, The
The Ballydesmond is a traditional Irish polka in 2/4 meter, originating from the Sliabh Luachra region in the southwest of Ireland. Set in the D mixolydian mode, the tune is traditionally played at a lively tempo with a bouncy, driving rhythm characteristic of Munster dance music. Its precise composer and early history remain unknown, but it has long been a staple in the standard session repertoire of Irish traditional musicians.
