Appalachia Waltz by Mark O'Connor is the title track from the album featuring O'Connor, Yo-Yo Ma, and Edgar Meyer. The Sony Classical release debuted and then stayed for several months at the No.1 position on Billboard Magazine's Classical music chart. O'Connor originally composed the piece as a solo for unaccompanied violin in 1993. For the recording with Ma in 1996, O'Connor and Meyer re-arranged the waltz for violin, cello and doublebass.

"Appalachia Waltz" might well be one of Mark O'Connor's most-loved compositions. It utilizes musical inspiration from Scandinavian and Appalachian folk fiddling, while crafted into a Classical music setting.

Fun to Play

What a blast to play. I’m an intermediate cellist and was looking for something outside the usual sonatas, and this hit the spot. The "Appalachia" style gives it a folky, down-home feel that is just fun. The parts fit together really well—it sounds much more complex than it actually is to play. We played this at a casual get-together and got so many compliments on how unique it sounded. Highly recommend for any cello player wanting to jam with their string friends.
