ST. PAUL WALTZ. AKA - "Cattle Call Waltz," "St. Paul's Waltz." Amerian, Waltz (3/4 time). C Major (‘A’, ‘B’ parts) & F Major (‘C’ part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA’BBACC. "St. Paul's Waltz" has been a widespread and frequently recorded melody for over 150 years, particularly popular in the Midwest and often associated with polka bands. The melody was first published as "St. Paul Waltz" in 1864 by Cady & Root (Chicago) with the composition credited to A.J. Vaas (b. ca. 1830 in the kingdom of Hannover- d.?), a German American composer and conductor of the Light Guard Band of Chicago[1]. The same tune can be found under the name "St. Louis Waltz" in Boston music publisher Elias Howe’s Musician’s Omnibus (c. 1870, p. 586), where it is credited to "A. Bond".
Country and Western musician Tex Owens adapted this tune for his song “Cattle Call,” which became a huge western hit for Eddy Arnold, the Tennessee Plowboy. The melody can be heard sung by the Sons of the Pioneers in the classic western movie Rio Grande (1950), directed by John Ford, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.
"Rutherford's Waltz" is a related melody.
- ↑ At the start of the American Civil War, Vass composed a dozen quick step marches for the bugle for military use, published in Army Regulations for Drum, Fife and Bugle (1861), published by and Root and Cady in Chicago.
