Down By The River Side

Waltz · 3/4 · G major

Down by the River Side is a traditional waltz in the key of G major with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer. Written in a graceful 3/4 meter, the tune features a flowing melodic contour that lends itself well to fluid phrasing and expressive fiddle ornamentation. Because its early history remains undocumented, players typically approach the piece as a standard community folk waltz with a relaxed, lyrical character.
