GUEST,Mary E. McIsaac | Origins: Westering Home (Hugh Roberton) (112* d) | RE: Origins: Westering Home (Hugh Roberton) | 31 Dec 18 |
Westering Home is in Songs of the North compiled by Marjorie Kennedy Fraser. It is attributed to my Dad, Donald D. McIsaac, a member of Glasgow’s Orpheus Choir. He sang it to Sir Hugh Robertson, the choirmaster, who passed it to MJF to include in her song collection. My Dad, born in 1904 on the Isle of Jura, a mod gold medalist and later choirmaster of Ayr Junior Gaelic Choir often sang this beautiful song at concerts and ceilidhs. |
