Genevieve's Waltz
I first heard this on the radio, written & played by Manus McGuire, (Moving Cloud), who wrote it for his wife (Genevieve).
It is on his solo album 'Saffron & Blue', Manus McGuire, (Green Linnet GLCD1206).
It is a beautiful tune that I love to play on the mandolin, and sounds great with very little ornamentation, he odd grace note ( 'C#' after the 'B', and a slide to double stop on the final 'A' ).
To be honest, the way Manus plays it is just about perfect to my ears !

Genevieve's Waltz
So pleased to find this here - I agree with your comments on how Manus plays it but it's great to be able to have a go at playing it myself, and your version seems note-perfect.
Thanks for putting it up here.

Wedding music
I'm planning to play this tune for the prelude of my brother's wedding. I'm adding it to a set with Drunk at Night, Dry in the Morning, then Lover's Waltz, followed by Genevieve's Waltz. Does that sound like a nice combo? I've only heard it on the Green Linnet Album compilation CD, not sure who plays it tho.
I was happy to find the dots here.
