Some might be interested in my production "Grand Design" which I made from the true story of Ulster Scots immigrants, circa 1740, who are wrecked on Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick Canada and abandoned by the captain and crew. 10 women and an infant survive the winter on the island and are rescued by Passamaquoddy Indians in April who paddle 130 miles to an English fort in Pemaquid Maine to facilitate their rescue. I used some period traditional music, both Scots Irish and Native American, as well as writing some in the appropriate style. See the website www.the-grand-design.org for audio and video clips. cheers- Julia
