Scottish Airs and Dances for Two Violins: or Solo Violin,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The twentyfive pieces in this collection date back to eighteenth and nineteenth century Scotland. Music was passed around among professional and amateur musicians, hand copied, and ended up in slightly different versions in many collections. The Airs were originally songs or for solo violin. The Dances strathspeys, reels, jigs, a hornpipe, and the sword dance were originally for fiddle or bagpipe. The book is arranged as a program from beginning to end from sunrise, with Ossianss Hymn to the Sun, to sunset, with the lullaby O, Can Ye Sew Cushions. And no Scottish evening is complete without Auld Lang Syne as a finale. But one can, of course, choose to play a selection. Three of the airs are Gaelic songs. Others are tunes for which Robert Burns and other poets wrote lyrics. Two airs were composed for the violin Neil Gows Lament for the Death of His Second Wife and the anonymous Killiecrankie,. The dances were played by fiddlers or pipers. They played (and still play) many of the same pieces. One example is Gillie Callum, the sword dance. Originally a bagpipe tune, its range was expanded beyond the pipes nine notes and it became a fiddle tune. The composers are anonymous except for pieces by Niel Gow (17271807), his son, Nathaniel Gow (1763 1831) and William Marshall (17481833). Niel Gow was the preeminent violinist of his day. All three composed many fiddle tunes for Scottish country dancing.
