Waterford waltz

Nice one, Tusong. I'm not a great fan of waltzes but have always liked this one.

This is in one of the O'Farrell books, printed in the first decade of the 19th century. I've a tape of Waterford piper Tommy Kearney playing it; as in O'Farrell's setting it has another part that goes up to high D, in the third octave. A beautiful tune; where'd it come from?

Waterford Waltz

Here's the very basic version of the tune I learnt at the flute workshop with Harry Bradley around 2 years ago.

It's hard to find good traditional waltzes that speak to. This one does it. Thanks for the add.
