Waltz for Kylin

This Waltz was composed by Piano Accordion player Dougie Hunter.

I just heard this lovely Scottish Waltz, for the first time last week, at our Ballymoney Session, but knew as soon as I heard it that I had to learn it.

Here, I play it on my Fiddle, English Concertina, Mandolin & Tin Whistle.

Dougie Hunter plays Accordion with the band Hoogie & you can hear them play this Waltz on track 5 of their recording ~ ‘Knackiedoo’

Waltz for Kylin!

Aye, that’s the beauty o’ the tradition, we each add our own wee flavour to them. 😉

I see there’s a couple of YouTubes of this tune:

Played by David Anderson with Louisa Costelloe on Concertina and the late Norman Conboy on Guitar:

There’s another by this young Ceili Band … if you can stand the bloody awful racket the young bloke makes on yin o’ thon seat-drum things! 🙁

& finally, this young fella plays a measured version of it - from around 2:00 mins!

Incidentally, I’ve added my version to a wee compilation video of photos from the 1st 3 years of our wee session in Ballymoney, where I first heard this lovely Waltz:

Waltz For Kylin, X:3

This version of A Waltz for Kylin was given to me by my fiddle tutor in Dingwall. It has added slurs to give it a more Waltzy feel.

Re: Waltz For Kylin

The fourth setting (X:4) is the alternate setting (not sure where it came from) where the tenth bar of the second part goes to B instead of A (the original, as in the first three settings) which sounds great until you get to the next B in the twelfth bar which loses its impact as a result and sounds wrong.
