Thread Name: Tune Req: The Maiden's Prayer
Subject: RE: SHEET MUSIC -- for 'The Maiden's Prayer'
This is digression, and no relation to Ebbie's lyrics, but the name "Maiden's Prayer" has been used since 1850 (see American Memory for sheet music to these pieces). It was a very popular piano piece by Badazewewska (words added later by Adams, and variations by Paul), and guitar piece by W. L. Hayden.
Guest Gladys asked for a 'waltz' called the "Maiden's Prayer;" I would guess that there is a waltz setting somewhere.

Johnny Gimble, the Texas fiddler, recorded a fiddle tune called "Twilight Waltz," sound clip here: Music Outfitter
