Download or read book A Scots Song written by James MacMillan and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir James MacMillan first burst into prominence in 1990 with The Confessions of Isobel Gowdie. A steady stream of works has followed, with commissions from many of the world's major orchestras. A prominent part of his work is his religious composition, which includes settings of both the John and Luke passions, Tu Es Petrus (for the 2010 papal visit to Britain) and numerous smaller choral pieces. His works are heard all around the world – Seven Last Words from the Cross has been performed in 24 countries since its premiere in 1994, and his Stabat Mater received a private performance at the Sistine Chapel in 2018. He is a trenchant commentator on a wide range of political, social and theological issues, many of which spring from his commitment to the cultural life of Scotland. He is a passionate advocacy of community involvement in music and set up the burgeoning music festival The Cumnock Tryst in 2013. Much of his music reflects his strong Scottish roots and interest in all aspects of musical tradition.

Download or read book Our Ancient National Airs: Scottish Song Collecting from the Enlightenment to the Romantic Era written by Karen McAulay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest documented Scottish song collectors actually to go 'into the field' to gather his specimens, was the Highlander Joseph Macdonald. Macdonald emigrated in 1760 - contemporaneously with the start of James Macpherson's famous but much disputed Ossian project - and it fell to the Revd. Patrick Macdonald to finish and subsequently publish his younger brother's collection. Karen McAulay traces the complex history of Scottish song collecting, and the publication of major Highland and Lowland collections, over the ensuing 130 years. Looking at sources, authenticity, collecting methodology and format, McAulay places these collections in their cultural context and traces links with contemporary attitudes towards such wide-ranging topics as the embryonic tourism and travel industry; cultural nationalism; fakery and forgery; literary and musical creativity; and the move from antiquarianism and dilettantism towards an increasingly scholarly and didactic tone in the mid-to-late Victorian collections. Attention is given to some of the performance issues raised, either in correspondence or in the paratexts of published collections; and the narrative is interlaced with references to contemporary literary, social and even political history as it affected the collectors themselves. Most significantly, this study demonstrates a resurgence of cultural nationalism in the late nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Scottish Song: A Comprehensive Collection of the Most Approved Songs of Scotland, With Historical and Critical Notices Regarding Them and Their Authors and an Essay on the Song Writers of Scotland The book OF scottish song contains, in all, somewhere about twelve hundred and seventy songs; and it is presumed that every standard lyric in the language - every song of established reputation - is included within its pages. Some omissions may possibly have been made; but the Editor trusts that they are of a Very unimportant character.* A large number of the songs in the collection are taken from hitherto unexplored sources, and may be con sidered (to use Coleridge's phrase) as good as manuscript. Another portion, though not so large, are bona fide originals, ' that is to say, they have the claim to originality at least, in having been here first printed. Of this portion, about one hundred and thirty in all, many, it is confidently trusted, will be admitted even by the most fastidious, to possess very superior merit; while the whole, though forming but a subordinate feature of the work, will be found, it is hoped, to add no inconsiderable or unworthy heap to the lofty and ever accumulating cairn of Scottish song.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It may excite surprise to know, but nevertheless it is undeniable, that no publication of the kind here aimed at, whether as regards extent of design in text and commentary, or adaptation in size and price for general circulation, has hitherto been attempted, amid the multifarious song-collections that have issued from the press. Ritson, near the close of the last century, was the first, as an editor of Scottish song, who endea voured to ascertain the age and authorship of the pieces in his work, and his example has been followed by one or two other editors; but the compilations adverted to are at once limited in their range, and removed by their cost be yond the reach of ordinary purchasers. Ritson's collection did not, in all, amount to more than our. Nusnnnn and monrr songs, and the collections of succeeding editors, though in some instances extending to several volumes, do not in any case contain om; half of the number of songs given in the present publication.

Book excerpt: From the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, a steady stream of Scots migrated to Ulster and eventually onward across the Atlantic to resettle in the United States. Many of these Scots-Irish immigrants made their way into the mountains of the southern Appalachian region. They brought with them a wealth of traditional ballads and tunes from the British Isles and Ireland, a carrying stream that merged with sounds and songs of English, German, Welsh, African American, French, and Cherokee origin. Their enduring legacy of music flows today from Appalachia back to Ireland and Scotland and around the globe. Ritchie and Orr guide readers on a musical voyage across oceans, linking people and songs through centuries of adaptation and change.
