Carnlough Bay

Waltz · 3/4 · A mixolydian

Carnlough Bay is an Irish waltz in three-four meter, though its precise geographical and historical origins remain largely unrecorded. The tune is traditionally played in the A Mixolydian mode, giving it a characteristic modal lilt and a flowing, lyrical quality. Because specific historical associations and composer attributions are not documented, musicians perform the piece primarily as a regional folk melody.
