Ballinafad

Polka · 2/4 · G major

Ballinafad is a traditional Irish polka in 2/4 meter and G major. Because its exact origin and composer are not historically documented, musicians treat it as part of the traditional repertoire. Played with a lively and rhythmic bounce typical of Sliabh Luachra dance music, it features bright phrasing suited for traditional accordion and fiddle accompaniment.
