Ballyvourney, The
The traditional Irish polka known as The Ballyvourney has an uncertain exact origin and no verified composer. Played in a brisk 2/4 meter, it features the lively character and rhythmic drive typical of traditional Sliabh Luachra dance music. Because detailed historical associations for the tune are not reliably documented, its enduring popularity rests on its energetic melody in the E dorian mode.
