Humble Waltz (for Small Band)

The Humble Waltz is a variation on the Cantummit Waltz (which is sort of like a wagon with one eccentric wheel). A small group tried the Cantummit Waltz and found it too “uneasy” to play, so I added some measures and other devices to make it sound more “normal”. The Humble Waltz is also easy to play, making it suitable for a middle school, community or polka band. And, it has the same nice complexity to it as the Cantummit Waltz.

If you have instruments that aren’t in this arrangement, it’s easy enough to add them; and if you are missing instruments that are in this arrangement, it’s no problem to fix that as well. A small fee may apply for exotic instruments.

It’s called the Humble Waltz because, unlike the Cantummit Waltz, it is quite Hummable. (If you say “hummable” too quickly, it sounds like “humble”.) Compare the Humble to the Cantummit Waltz. You can also find out the full story of how it got its name.
