In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree (Pianoroll 1905)

​"In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree" is a beloved waltz from 1905, captured here in a charming A-Roll Nickelodeon arrangement. This performance is especially delightful for its inclusion of a unique clockwork-style imitation, where the instrumentation mimics the bright, clear resonance of glockenspiel bells. The graceful waltz tempo combined with these metallic, tinkling accents gives the piece a nostalgic, music-box quality that perfectly captures the sentiment of the early 20th-century parlor and public house music scene. ​Technical Note: Composition: In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree Composer: Egbert Van Alstyne Lyricist: Harry Williams Roll Type: A-Roll Nickelodeon Roll Number: 949 (assigned) - tune 6 (1905) ​#intheshadeoftheoldappletree #pianoroll #1905 #egbertvanalstyne #harrywilliams #aroll #nickelodeon #949 #mechanicalmusic #vintagepiano #musichistory #classicpiano #waltz #glockenspiel
