After The Ball

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

After The Ball is a popular American waltz composed by Charles K. Harris and published in 1892, though its exact traditional background as a folk tune is not established. Set in three-four meter and the key of D major, the piece features a flowing, lyrical melody and a sentimental character designed for expressive ballroom dancing. It became one of the most commercially successful parlor songs of the late nineteenth century and a staple of nostalgic Americana repertoire.
