Subject: RE: The most beautiful modern slow air From: GUEST,Strollin' Johnny Date: 04 Feb 04 - 10:48 AM Try out 'Air for Maurice Ogg' by (I think) Alistair Anderson. Mo was a star in the folk firmament of North Lincs/East Yorks/South Yorks before he was called to The Big Session In The Sky. Listen to it played from the heart by that Fine Son o'Scunny, Martin Simpson on his CD 'The Bramble Briar'. Bliss! Johnny :0) |

Subject: RE: The most beautiful modern slow air From: Cluin Date: 04 Feb 04 - 06:10 PM Loads of them here. I remember when this guy Phil Whittaker was requesting submissions on Usenet and several e-mail lists related to the subject. He asked a similar question. Personally, I like (in no particular order) Ashokan Farewell (Jay Ungar), If Ever You Were Mine (Maurice Lennon), Ross Memorial Hospital (Phil Cunningham), Mr & Mrs. MacLean of Snaigow (Dougie MacLean), The Osprey (Dougie MacLean), Miss Rowan Davies (Phil Cunningham), The Pearl (Phil Cunningham), Da Slockit Light (Tom Anderson), among others. And, though they're not modern, I'm quite partial to Niel Gow's "Farewell to Whiskey" and "Lament for the Death of His Second Wife". |
