What, Daddy? polka

A nice polka from John Whelan's album "Come to Dance".
Goes well both with or without dots).

This tune

This is quite possibly the worst, most incoherent, discordant, shabby polka I have ever had the misfortune to play through...


...on Christmas Day aswell! :-(

Key?

I'm wondering if this is in the right key. I've never heard the tritone emphasized so much in a tune. Is it supposed to be in c minor?

It looks like there was a typo in the transcription. Ador or Ddor would make the most sense. The tune is essentially pentatonic with only the notes A C D E G.

The tritone version as posted could always be slipped into a polka figure for set dancers to see if they're listening :-)

Ddor, not Ador. Ador would imply an F# which would be out of place in this pentatonic tune.
The submitter of this tune, Viking of Kiev, is entitled to alter the ABC as he wishes. The sooner this is done before the tune gets into its printed form, the better.

Ok, guys. That was the problem from the very beginning :).
I am not great expert in keys & modes. Corrected. Thanx).

# Posted on December 26th 2008 by Viking of Kiev

Ador not Ddor, because the tune clearly resolves to A, not D. An F# as a passing note wouldn't sound particularly out of place imo.
