The Lovers’ Waltz

Here is The Lovers' Waltz (also sometimes called The Lover's Waltz). This is a fantastic tune written by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. The song transcends genere and can be heard everywhere from weddings to dances to campfires all across America. Similar to Ashokan Farewell, also written by Jay and Molly, the melody to this song is simple, and yet haunting, a hallmark of a good waltz. It's a great tune to start on if you're a beginner player. Thanks to Jay and Molly, who were kind enough to permit this tune to be taught here on Fiddlevideo.com.. Casey Willis breaks down a basic and advanced version in this lesson module.
