- A series of short videos of slow airs and slow strathspeys taken from my book of "Scottish Fiddle tunes."
60 Scottish tune for the fiddle, published by Schott Music in 2006.
....about the tune.. it was first published by Niel Gow's son Nathaniel in his "Fifth Collection of Strathspeys, Reels etc" in 1809. Although it is a lament for the death of a loved one, I think it has an underscore of optimism and celebration.
Film and Audio recording by James Law July 2014.
Beautifully played a most attractive full sound. While it's nice to hear this old tune played slowly and thoughtfully, this flowing version seems to me to do it justice just as much. Anyway, many thanks - a great pleasure to hear this. 🎻😊
Utterly beautiful! Thank you.
OMG that was beautiful
About the best thing. Seventy six likes after mine. Such a lovely touch on such a perfect song.
Dear Iain, it's a great pleasure to listen your inspiring playing and learn these elegant wonderful Old Scottish Tunes. 💙
Beautiful mellow sound.
Oh yes, definitely, the proper unpoped collar brings about a rich color to the fiddle!! LOL Another very fine job sir and thanks!
Very nice I like this kind of "up temp" version as I like to play the Lament on mandolin and the very slow "long bowing" approach used by many fiddlers is hard to mimic on a fretting instrument with a pick. I've been playing along with your presentation here and as a result I've greatly improved my ability to play the tune.
