TUAR MÓR POLKA [1], THE. AKA and see “Gullane Polka (3), “Tony Lowe's Polka (2),” “Toormore Polka (2),” “Tournmore Polka,” “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 "Tuar Mór Polka (2) (The)," was collectively known as the “Tuar Mór Polkas” by wikipedia:Johnny O'Leary, an accordion player from Sliabh Luachra, who learned them from his contemporary, Jack Sweeney. Tuar Mór (pronounced 'Toormore') 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's Ceol Rince na hÉirreann vol. II (1976; No. 123).
