Bridget Cruise

Waltz · 3/4 · G major

Bridget Cruise is a traditional Irish waltz composed in G major by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan during the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Named after one of O'Carolan's early loves, the tune is set in 3/4 meter with a graceful, flowing melody that reflects the lyrical style of the period. Because precise historical details regarding their relationship remain uncertain, musicians typically perform the piece with a gentle, expressive rubato that highlights its romantic character.
