Arrane Ghelby

Waltz · 3/4 · D dorian

Arrane Ghelby is a traditional Manx tune of uncertain historical origin, recorded from local informants on the Isle of Man. Set in 3/4 time as a waltz in the key of D dorian, it features a graceful melodic contour and an evocative, melancholy character. Because detailed historical documentation and a specific composer are lacking, the tune is best approached with a flowing, lyrical playing style that highlights its modal coloring.
