It may make a good strathspey, but it's closer to being a slow reel, or march - more technically a Scots Measure. My quarrel with Custer LaRue's performance is that she doesn't do it in Old Scots. Q is quite right, it's a magnificent thing declaimed in Scots. But the tune is quite haunting [and well done by David Miller] - and I can only wonder at the reticence or coyness or whatever of the OBC editor [Martin Shaw?], who, mind you, does not claim to have composed it. |
