Galloway Girth

Polka · 2/4 · E minor

Galloway Girth is a traditional 2/4 polka set in the key of E minor, though its specific geographic origins and exact historical background are not documented. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic dance tempo that suits the upbeat style typical of traditional instrumental polka playing. Because reliable historical records and composer attributions for this melody are currently lacking, players approach it primarily as a standard traditional dance piece within the folk repertoire.
