Nightingale, The

Waltz · 3/4 · G major

The Nightingale is a traditional waltz set in three-four meter and the key of G major, though its precise historical origin and composer remain uncertain. The tune is characterized by a flowing, graceful lilt and a lyrical melody well suited to traditional dance accompaniment and instrumental performance.
