About This Song
About "Offenbach: Gaîté parisienne: Valse lente (Arr. M. Rosenthal)" by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
The 'Valse lente' slows the pulse to a tender sway—hushed strings and a melody that aches with nostalgia. Rosenthal's arrangement lets Offenbach's melancholy surface, a ballroom emptied of dancers, the last note lingering like perfume in the air.
