This tune is a march, not a polka.

This is not the track on the Album, New Day Dawning. It is an Air and not the March/Polka displayed.
If anyone has the correct tune, please post it.

It's a march, not a polka, and's in A minor, not G major.

This was annoyingly hard to find as it's actually a march in A dorian not a polka in g major!

Because of the wide variety of time signatures that marches come in, and because of their tendency to also stray into other territory, we put them where we can, and if 'march' is at least used in the 'alternate titles' you can search out other marches here, and that can be narrowed by time signature... Give it a try, click on the 'Search' tab in 'Tunes', then start by just entering 'march'... Next, use the time signature/tune form drop-down and try say 2/4 (polkas), 6/8 (jigs), etc... They haven't all been 'tagged' with 'march', but it is getting done over time, since there isn't a 'march' category. The same is being done for 'highland flings'...

Weird transcriptions... I wouldn't have chosen 2/4 for this one, just seems daft...
# Posted on September 20th 2007 by ceolachan
And, I have to disagree with the one above who proclaims ~ " its pretty cool as a polka!" ~ YUCK!!! Obviously, unlike New York girls, you can't dance the polka... (= haven't a clue)
# Posted on September 20th 2007 by ceolachan
Yes, I realize, 2/4 is a standard convention for notating marches like this, I just don't think it does justice to the tune, and this one goes very nicely 'slowly'...and 'with feeling'...

does anyone have the sheet music for key of D...... or is it maybe posible to play it on a D whistle with a higher octave.
THANKS for the anwsers

No problem...
Just play it as written - you have all the notes you need on a D whistle.
