Music of the Willow Waltz

[andrealouise]

Does anyone know the music to the Willow? I think it's a song by Tom Jones or Engelbert Humperdink but I'm not sure. If anyone can tell me I would so appreciate it.

My favorite was Les Bicyclettes des Belsize.

I love 'The Sweetheart Tree' from 'The Great Race' by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer. One of my favorite movies too.

In the UK it is done to the same music as the European waltz (as is the Dutch Waltz and the Prelim Waltz - do we get sick of it? Er.....).

In the UK it is done to the same music as the European waltz (as is the Dutch Waltz and the Prelim Waltz - do we get sick of it? Er.....).

This is likely because the tempo (46 measures of 3 beats; 138 beats per minute) and the music (Waltz 3/4) of the Dutch Waltz is the same as the music and tempo of the Willow Waltz.

The European music is similar with the Waltz 3/4 music, but the tempo is slightly different at 45 measures of 3 beats per minute; 135 beats per minute. Almost undetectable, but still slightly off.

In the UK, it is identical; NISA rules say that all four dances (although the British Waltz is no longer in our test structure) are tested and competed to the same music.
