He has won every major prize in piping at least once, and it is an honor to A welcome him to Albany for the Nicol-Brown weekend. Angus taught at the In- vermark summer schools on Skye for several years, until his schedule as a piping teacher in the Oban schools caused a conflict. The students of Oban are privileged to have such an outstanding teacher and mentor, and the Oban High School Pipe Band is flourish- ing under his leadership. They won the Novice Juvenile Pipe Band events at the World Championships and the Cowal Games in August of 010. Angus has recorded three outstanding CDs of pipe music, which belong in every piper’s library. In the liner notes of Angus’s second CD, A Tradition of Excellence, Ronald Morrison comments: “It is remarkable how history repeats itself. One hundred years ago the famous John MacColl of Oban won the Clasp at the Northern Meeting. His great-grand nephew, Angus, repeated the performance in 000 where he gave an immaculate performance playing the little heard ‘Sutherland’s Gathering’. Indeed it is reckoned that this would rank among the best ever heard at Inverness. Of course win- ning prestigious prizes comes second nature to Angus, considering his track record...” Judges for the Nicol-Brown Amateur Invitational Contest 1982 Ed Neigh 199 Jack Lee 193 James McGillivray 1999 Michael Cusack 194 Murray Henderson 000 Alasdair Gillies 195 Donald F.

  • Traditional Music of Scotland
    Traditional Music of Scotland A Journey to the Musical World of Today Abstract Immigrants from Scotland have been arriving in the States since the early 1600s, bringing with them various aspects of their culture, including music. As different cultures from around Europe and the world mixed with the settled Scots, the music that they played evolved. For my research project, I will investigate the progression of “traditional” Scottish music in the United States, and how it deviates from the progression of the same style of music in Scotland itself, specifically stylistic changes, notational changes, and changes in popular repertoire. I will focus on the relationship of this progression to the interactions of the two countries throughout history. To conduct my research, I will use non-fiction sources on the history of Scottish music, Scottish culture and music in the United States, and Scottish immigration to and interaction with the United States. Beyond material sources, I will contact my former Scottish fiddle teacher, Elke Baker, who conducts extensive study of ethnomusicology relating to Scottish music. In addition, I will gather audio recordings of both Scots and Americans playing “traditional” Scottish music throughout recent history to compare and contrast according to their dates. My background in Scottish music, as well as in other American traditional music styles, will be an aid as well. I will be able to supplement my research with my own collection of music by close examination. To culminate my project, I plan to compose my own piece of Scottish music that incorporates and illustrates the progression of the music from its first landing to the present.

  • Melodic Identity and Tune Resemblance Karen E. Mcaulay
    1 ABSTRACTS (grouped by session) Session 1: Melodic Identity and Tune Resemblance Karen E. McAulay (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow) ‘All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order’*: Musical Resemblances over the Border The appealing Northumbrian pipe-tune, “I saw my love come passing by me”, appears in at least three nineteenth century sources, and again in Cock’s Tutor for the Northumbrian Half-Long Bagpipes. The latest two of these are shorter, whilst the first two elaborate the tune with variations. Nonetheless, the resemblances are clear; their kinship is indisputable. However, there are two much earlier appearances of similar tunes in publications north of the border. A century older, each has a different title, and although the shapes of these tunes are undeniably similar, they are certainly neither identical forerunners to one another, nor to “I saw my love”. Indeed, one source was linked in 1925 to a totally different tune. Notwithstanding this earlier identification, I dispute the similarity, and propose that there is some kind of link between “I saw my love” and her earlier Scottish cousins. Whilst the Tune Archive enabled me to trace the iterations of the Border tunes, it failed to flag up these Scottish tunes as potential relatives, partly because their rhythmic notation means the Theme Code index failed to pick up the same strong beats. I propose to demonstrate the methodology I have adopted to attempt to prove my hypothesis. If I’m right, it suggests that before I saw my love come passing by me, she had enjoyed a bit of a shadowy Celtic past.

  • The Songs of Robert Burns
    BIBLIOGRAPHY I. WORKS OF BURNS. [Burns was born January 25, 1759 ; he wrote his first song in the autumn of first 1773 or 1774 ; published the edition of his Works in 1786, and the last in 1794. His connexion with Johnson's Scots Musical Museum began in the spring or summer of 1787, and with Thomson's Scotish Airs in September, 1792, and he continued to contribute to both collections until his death on July 21, 1796. The Bibliography of Burns in the ' Memorial Catalogue of the Bums Exhibition, 1896. Glasgow: Hodge, 1898,' describes 696 editions of the Works of Bums published in the United Kingdom.] Hastie MSS., in the British Museum (No. 22,307), include 162 songs, mostly in the handwriting of Burns, which he contributed to the Scots Musical MtiseufH. Dalhousie MS., in Brechin Castle, consists of Letters to George Thomson, and songs intended for publication in Scotish Airs. Gray's MS. Lists, belonging to George Gray, Esq., of the Coimty Buildings, Glasgow, are a number of detached sheets containing the titles of songs pro- posed for insertion in the second and subsequent volumes of the Scots Musical Museum. The lists are partly in the handwriting of Burns and partly in that of James Johnson. Law's MS. List, lately in the possession of William Law, Littleborough, is a holograph of Burns, entitled ' List of Songs for 3rd Volume of the Scots Musical Mtiseum^ which he sent to Johnson in a letter dated April 24, 1789. This MS., now referred to for the first time, definitely settles the authorship of many songs, some of which in the following pages are printed for the first time as the work of Burns.
