Roundabout, The
The polka known as The Roundabout is a 2/4 tune in D major composed by Máire Breatnach. Because detailed historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented, the tune is best defined by its lively musical character and melodic charm typical of modern Irish traditional performance. Played in a brisk and rhythmic style suited for dancing, it showcases the characteristic bounce and articulation expected of an upbeat Irish polka.
