Cheshire, The

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

The traditional tune The Cheshire is structured as a waltz in three-four time and is performed in the key of D major. Because its specific origin and composer are not historically documented, it is best known through the oral folk tradition. Its graceful triple meter and lyrical melodic contour lend themselves to both social dancing and traditional instrumental accompaniment.
