Braddock's March

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Braddock's March is a traditional 2/4 tune in D major whose exact historical origins and composer remain uncertain, though its title evokes the colonial-era military campaign. Played with the steady, bouncing tempo typical of a polka, it features an uplifting and brisk character well-suited for traditional dance settings. Because reliable historical documentation regarding its earliest publication or specific provenance is scarce, musicians primarily value it for its lively melodic contour and traditional folk appeal.
