Natalie MacMaster - Anniversary Waltz

[MetuNtr]

Just saw these three (Erin) along with Natalie's pianist. All of them dance and play beautifully. Hearing them play this last night was amazing. Best of luck to them all. Erin is an incredible pianist. If I weren't looking at her, I'd say she has forty fingers instead of ten.

Very Nice But This Is The Anniversary Song... Not Anniversary Waltz

[delora33]

Today is July 15, 2011. We have been friends for one year today. It's been a fun roller coaster ride and I've loved every minute of it. Happy Anniversary Bon Ami. Please enjoy this lovely video.

Wikipedia: "Waves of the Danube" is a waltz composed by Iosif Ivanovici (1845–1902) in 1880 ... In the United States, it is frequently referred to as "The Anniversary Song", a title given by Al Jolson when he and Saul Chaplin released an adaptation of the song in 1946. "The Anniversary Song" is sometimes confusingly referred to as "The Anniversary Waltz", which is actually the name of a completely unrelated song. The song is also not to be confused with "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II.

I saw Natalie and Donnell at the Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield, Quebec on June 23, 2011 !!!!

BTW: As pointed out by previous readers, the music here is "Waves of the Danube" written by Romanian composer Losif Ivanovici around 1880. In 1946, Al Jolson and Saul Chaplin added lyrics and called it "The Anniversary Song" (search in YouTube: Andy Williams - Anniversary Song).

The song written by Dave Franklin & Al Dubin is different. (search in YouTube: Connie Francis - Anniversary Waltz)

Thanks

they make beautiful music together... :)

[paiusan2000]

No! It was composed by the romanian composer Iosif Ivanovici in 1880, than, in America, was recorded by those wich you said.

Unfortunately, it don't let me to post here the link on wikipedia, but you can find it if you will look for "Iosif Ivanovici - Waves of the Danube"

I first heard about this song on Ghost Adventures that a devil would play this song on a jukebox that was unplugged and didn't have this song on there. I was curious to find out what the song sounded like then I found these people who have amazing talent. Better than Justin Bieber's fake autotuned gay voice. :p

[victorialove360]

@pcally1 ditto. 

[Jesushatespolicemen]

Now that's music & one of the best covers of this song I've heard. Thanks so much for uploading & sharing it.

[sam9999999999]

a beautiful song touches the heart

[wwnixon]

The tune itself is a lot older than "41

[pastore0506]

@morigue The Anniversary Waltz was indeed written by Dave Franklin and Al Dubin and is often confused with The Anniversary Song which is what is played in this video. The Anniversary song was derived from the Waves of the Danube which as TessaKPK rightly states, was written by Iosif Ivanovici. Al Jolson and Saul Chaplin published it in 1946 under the name of "The Anniversary Song" ("Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed") and as their own composition.

[pastore0506]

@pastore0506 Incidentally, I never tire of listening to this rendition of The Anniversary Song :)

[paiusan2000]

@pastore0506

The romanian composer Iosif Ivanovici, compose it in 1880.

[TessaKPK]

Natalie's and Donnell's interpretation of this beautiful piece of music uplifts my soul. The violins speak to the heart.

The credit must be given to the original composer: Iosif Ivanovici (18451902).

[jlcel0818ya]

Upon hearing this, I thought this piece uses the theme from a waltz named Danube Waves. I suppose that it has been arranged/transformed by others, so that only the first bit of the theme remains relatively unaltered. This is a very nice version.

[rohinvil1]

I always thought it was the anniversary waltz.

It was extensively used by Raj Kapoor in Barsaat-1950 and became the signature tune of all R.K. Films thereafter. In fact the company logo is the modernistic representation of Raj holding a violin in one hand and Nargis draped over the other.

[borealify]

Really, really beautiful. One of my favorite tunes from my childhood.

[pastore0506]

A great performance. However, this tune is not the Anniversary Waltz which, as you correctly stated, was written by Dave Franklin & Al Dubin. It is the Anniversary Song which was written by Al Jolson & Saul Chaplin and

recorded by Al Jolson in 1946.

Both songs can be heard on You Tube.

[latter678]

Thx man almost confused them.

[latter678]

Wait i cant find the original version on YouTube.

[pastore0506]

I forgot to mention that I thought the cello also sounded great. Does anyone know if this lady does any solo work on any other videos?

[teekamarie]

Just beautiful.

[augie1111]

Hmm, this one almost sounds like a klezmer number, not that there's anything with that! Thanks to morigue for posting this.:).

[sam25252525]

Does anybody know the music to this song, like the notes, I play the violin and I want to learn this song. A website to the song would be great or even some infomation!

thanks. :)

[LC154WYL]
