Munster Bank, The

Polka · 2/4 · G major

The Munster Bank is a traditional Irish polka in two-four time and G major, though its specific composer and exact geographical origin remain unrecorded. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic structure well suited for dancing, it is typically played with the brisk, driving articulation common to Sliabh Luachra style accordion and fiddle music. Because detailed historical associations for the tune are not well documented, its enduring popularity relies entirely on its widespread circulation within the traditional session repertoire.
