Description
This is the piano solo arrangement of the Phoenix Waltz which was originally written to celebrate all of the musicians who played in the legendary Auchterby Band and the numerous musical line-ups born out of the ashes of that band. The Auchterby Band was a ceilidh band based in Aberdeen, Scotland which usually played fast and furious folky music for Scottish dancing at weddings, parties and various drunken events. The Phoenix Waltz is not fast and furious nor is it actually particularly folky or Scottish in style (more like Jazz) but, nevertheless, works well as a last waltz of the evening. Don't rush it, relax, take it easy and lets it breathe!
