Track 1 - Merry Widow Waltz Medley

.

The Merry Widow Waltz lends itself beautifully to be played alongside the traditional Strauss Waltz and therefore compliments this medley extremely well. The Merry Widow Waltz by Franz Lehar, begins this medley, slowly, sensuously, teasingly, in beautiful haunting overtones as it breaks gently into the lilting gay tempo of Vienna Blood. As (Wiener Blut" German) continues, it transitions and sets up the famous Blue Danube (An der schönen blauen Donau ) Waltz. This magical piece completes the medley with the famous Strauss tempo and ends with genuine appeal.

This wonderful popular oldie written by Bobby Helms is played with a medium swing fox style and sung with English lyrics to reflect the "Old German's Daughter." It became very popular and serves as a traditional German/English song bringing back sweet memories of that era
