- Heather Tuach (cello) plays tribute to her father with Laude, for John Tuach, by Marcus Barcham Stevens.
The music is inspired by Turlough O’Carolan’s Concerto and by Psalm 33: 'Give thanks to the Lord with the Lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to him a new song, play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.' There are two other solo cello pieces by Marcus: 'Stone' and 'Bird,' which you can find on this Channel.
John Tuach 'The Stoneman' (1950-2021) was born in Ullapool in the north of Scotland. He was the fifth generation of a line of stonemasons. University studies brought him to Newfoundland and he received a Ph.D in Geochemistry/Earth Science from Memorial University. After an eventful career in mining and exploration, he went back to his roots when he started the first flagstone operation in western Newfoundland (nlFlagstone). In retirement, John discovered new passions - skiing, birding, writing stories and poems and cultivating his gardens in Pynn’s Brook. His writings have been published in the Ullapool News, Uncle Gnarley Blog and in the Western Star newspaper.
FORTUNE SHONE
When I am dead, and my breath is gone
Remember me as Stoneman John
Or if on birds you were bemused
Remember me - as bird enthused.
Perhaps you knew me with the trees?
Or geology or downhill skis?
Celebrate, as fortune shone,
Have few regrets, that I am gone.
Times well lived came my way,
And content I was in work and play.
John Tuach,

It was recorded by Phil Hobbs (sound) and Boris Bizjak (video and editing) at Pyrton Church March 2021.
Magnificent. Thank you for sharing the work, the background, the significance, and your performance.
Beautiful Heather. And we love your dad’s poems. xx
John was a fine fellow..Very sorry to hear that he passed.
Your music is so inspiring. I was hoping to hear a concert at the ski chalet in Pasadena last summer.
Your Dad was such a proud parent and Grandfather - proud of you and Ken. It was a privilege to know him as a birder, botanist, and indeed a tree man - he was solid granite.

Beautiful
I love it all: wonderful Laude by Marcus Barcham Stevens, saturated amber colors of the setting, closeups and other interesting shots in the video, rich sound, and of course - last but not least - the magnificent cellist Heather Tuach who commissioned this work or her father John. What a beautiful gift to her father and family and all those who have known John.
Such an uplifting and joyful performance by Heather of a piece composed for her by Marcus Barcham Stevens. And what a lovely setting, too. Thank you!
where words fail, music speaks (Hans Christian Anderson). Your music speaks volumes Heather.
A beautiful piece and performance... a wonderful and fitting tribute to John Tuach.
Heather that is really beautiful, and very emotional. I was at Edinburgh with your dad and we were good pals in the geology class, on field trips and in the Highlands Society.
What a wonderful piece Heather, a lovely tribute, and thank you Marcus.
Beautiful, Hether! You're father is son proud of you!
I really enjoyed listening to this! Such a confident handling of the music. It reminded me of a Scottish dance. Such a beautiful tribute to your Dad.
Beautifully played and I love Marcus's piece.
This is a lovely tribute to your father, Heather, beautifully played and a moving, thoughtful piece.
