TUAR MÓR POLKA [1], THE. AKA and see “Gullane Polka (3) (The), “Tony Lowe's Polka (2),” “Toormore Polka (2) (The),” “Tournmore Polka (The),” “Wallace's Cross.” Irish, Polka (2/4 time). Ireland, Sliabh Luachra region of the Cork-Kerry border. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This polka, along with No. 2, was collectively known as the “Tuar Mór Polkas” by source O’Leary. Tuar Mór is a village in west County Kerry, not far from Killarney. An A Mixolydian tonality is suggested in the first part up until the cadence on D Major, while the ‘B’ part is solidly in D. “Wallace’s Cross” is a related tune, as is an untitled polka in Breathnach (CRÉ II), 1976; No. 123.
