Sullivan's John
Sullivan's John is a traditional waltz of uncertain historical origin and no verified composer attribution. Written in 3/4 meter and the D mixolydian mode, the tune features a flowing, triple-time rhythmic pulse that lends itself well to graceful movement. Because its exact background remains undocumented, musicians focus on its lyrical melody and expressive phrasing when performing the piece.
