Buy A Broom

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

Buy A Broom is a traditional waltz in three-four meter and D major that gained widespread popularity as a song and dance tune in early nineteenth-century Britain and America. Because its precise traditional origins and composer are not definitively established, musicians focus on its graceful, lyrical character and steady triple meter. The tune was famously associated with itinerant broom-sellers from Bavaria who popularized the melody and accompanying dance performances abroad during the 1820s.
