CUMBERLAND WALTZ. English, Waltz. D major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The county of Cumberland is first mentioned in the 10th century and is derived from the name of its inhabitants: the ancient Celtic people called the Brittons who were driven into the hills of the West of England by the Anglo-Saxon invaders-they took to calling themselves the Cymry, or brotherhood, in their time of desperation. A different "Cumberland Waltz" appears in Gilfert's Gentleman's Pocket Companion for the German Flute or Violin (1802).
