Road To Boston

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Road to Boston is a well-known traditional American fife and drum tune with an uncertain exact origin. Set in D major with a lively 2/4 meter, it functions as a brisk polka characterized by a bright, rhythmic march style suited for early American military and dance repertoires. Historical sources frequently associate the tune with the Revolutionary War era, though definitive documentation linking it to a specific composer or date remains scarce.
