Selkie, The

Waltz · 3/4 · B minor

The Selkie is a traditional waltz set in three-four meter and the key of B minor, though its specific geographic origin and exact historical background remain uncertain. Driven by its lilting triple meter, the tune conveys a haunting, melancholic character typical of maritime folklore and modal folk traditions. It is typically played with a smooth, flowing bowing style that emphasizes the gentle, swaying motion inherent to traditional waltzes.
