You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: Please tell me the name of the waltz played in the âDownton Abbeyâ movie where the king and queen and the family are all dancing at the ball. I am so moved by that scene.
Answer: The ballroom sequence includes Strauss waltzes, followed by the cutting between the ball and Tom dancing with a woman on the balcony. (I will leave it at that to avoid some spoilers.) The music transitions from Strauss into âSunset Waltz,â by longtime âDowntonâ composer John Lunn; he told Town & Country magazine that the musical transition was âquite difficult because it needs to be seamless . sounding like Strauss and then metamorphosing into John Lunn.â
