Ash Grove, The

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

The Ash Grove is a traditional Welsh folk melody that was later attributed to the blind Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan, though its exact historical origins remain uncertain. Set in D major with a 3/4 meter, the tune is played as a graceful waltz characterized by its flowing, lyrical melody and gentle, reflective mood. It achieved widespread popularity in the nineteenth century when it was paired with John Oxenford’s English lyrics in various popular song collections.
