Na Maithe Móra
This composition of harper Michael Rooney appears on the album "Draíocht" (see http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/1000) and on the recording "Ocras: Music from the Famine Remembrance". On the website for Michael Rooney and June McCormick (http://homepage.eircom.net/~michaelandjune/1024_768/index.htm), this piece is described as "A melodic and haunting piece written in 3/4 time which captures the grace and elegance of 19th century Ireland as experienced by the Ascendancy." Michael translates the title as "The Landlord's Houses". It is actually a minuet, rather than a waltz.
