Shetland Bus, The

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

The Shetland Bus is a 3/4 time waltz in D major composed by the Shetland fiddler Ronald Cooper. Written in a lyrical and expressive style characteristic of contemporary Shetland fiddle music, it features a graceful melodic contour well-suited to traditional waltz tempo. The tune is named in honor of the clandestine World War II naval operation that ran between Nazi-occupied Norway and the Shetland Islands.
