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 No. 2, was collectively known as the “Tuar Mór Polkas” by source Johnny O'Leary, an accordion player from Sliabh Luachra. 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's Ceol Rince na hÉirreann vol. II (1976; No. 123).
