Manx Waltz #1 (Arrane Ghelby) - B MinorWaltz
This tune is named Arrane Ghelby, which means Song of Dalby, after a place on the West coast of the Isle of Man, where the tune was first heard. Another name for it is Song of the Kelpie (a shape-shifting water spirit). The origin of the tune is attributed to a mysterious man in a curiously shaped boat that would appear at the close of summer evenings off Niarbyl Point by Dalby. He sang this song, and while the words could not be understood the locals learned the tune and passed it down. Locals believe variously that the man was a fisherman or a member of the mooinjer veggy, the little people or faeries. The tune is usually played with Manx Waltz #2 (Ushag Veg Ruy) as a break in the middle.
