Carousel at Seabreeze Park, Rochester, NY

This is a full ride on the Carousel at Seabreeze Amusement Park, Rochester, NY. The original carousel burned in 1994 and only four horses remained because they had been taken off for repair. This new hand-made carousel was commissioned and opened in 1996.

Most intense ride

[MrWurlitzer165]

The Rudolph Wurlitzer company put the proper title "Over The Waves" on the label of roll 6501, where Juventino Rosas' 1888 waltz first appeared in a 165 arrangement. (The original Spanish title is "Sobre las Olas") . When Ralph Tussing (T.R.T. Manufacturing Co.) later put the tune on his roll 6697, he used an April 27, 1949, arrangement by Kennedy & Flynn titled "Merry-Go-Round Waltz." Of course it sounds very much like the Rosas original.

So much misinformation here as to tune titles. "With Trumpet And Drum" is the title under which A.F. Weldon's march was copyrighted in the U.S. Copyright Office on April 18, 1904.

Next, the true story of "Over The Waves."

I remember the March 31st 1994 carousel fire. I was almost 5 and I remember how shocked and sad everybody was. My dad was a volunteer fireman at the time and he was there. Today I found a CD with the music from the current carousel and I'm listening to it right now. I feel like I'm actually there riding it. lolz.

Same here

That's odd, every recording I have of this song is "With Trumpet and Sword."

Though it should be noted that WurliTzer did make errors in the titles of some songs (or changed them), a well-known example being changing "Over the Waves" to "A Waltz for Carousels," as a matter of fact.

And all my recordings of that song have had the name put as "Over the Waves" rather than what was on the official rolls.

According to the catalog of Wurlitzer 165 rolls the tune is "With Trumpet And Drum" by Edwin Eugene Bagley, 1906 (roll 6501).

The title of the first song is actually "With Trumpet & Sword."
