Another Scottish song, played on the panpipes in an amazing acoustical space. This song is a favourite of mine (and I think I played it not badly this recording), though I don't think it's well known. A Pagan song, "Round Goes the Good Earth" has a melody very similar. (That's the thing about many of these folk songs: the melody survives the centuries, while the words come and go.)

Another track from my CD, probably the most mellow of the bunch. (Don't listen to it while driving as it may cause drowsiness. ;) ) Those of you who are/were Lord of the Rings fans may recall that the Rowan Tree was the favourite tree of one of the Ents. I don't have pictures of rowan trees yet, so I've accompanied the music with soothing pictures....getting sleepy....Oh rowan tree, oh rowan tree,Thoul't aye be dear to me.Entwin'd thou art wi' mony ties,O' hame and infancy.Thy leaves were aye the first o spring,Thy flowr's the simmer's pride:There was na sic a bonnie tree,In all the country side.Oh rowan tree.How fair wert thou in simmer time,Wi' all thy clusters white.How rich and gay thy autumn dress,Wi' berries red and bright.Oh thy fair stem were mony namesWhich now nae mair I see,But there engraven on my heart,Forgot they ne'er can be.Oh rowan tree.We sat aneath thy spreading shade,The bairnies round thee ran,They pu'd thy bonnie berries redAnd necklaces they strang.My mither oh, I see her still,She smil'd our sports to see,Wi' little Jeannie on her lap,Wi' Jamie at her knee.Oh rowan tree.Oh, there arose my father's pray'rIn holly evening's calm,How sweet was then my mither's voiceIn the martyr's psalm;Now a' are gan! We meet nae mairAneath the rowan tree,But hallowed thoughts around tee twineO' hame and infancy.Oh rowan tree.

Not a track from my CD, but recorded with a better mic. The echoes in this track are created with the software ('Audacity') I've been using to trim my MP3s. Not as good as the real thing, but I don't always have access to the legislature. ;)Background to this song: Two of Bonnie Prince Charlie's men were captured and left behind in Carlisle after the failed rising of 1745. One young soldier was to be executed, the other released. The Spirit of the dead soldier travelling by the 'low road' would reach Scotland before his comrade, who would be struggling along the actual road over high, rugged country.By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,Where the sun shines bright on Loch LomondWhere me and my true love were ever wont to gae,On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.ChorusO ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,And I'll be in Scotland afore ye.But me and my true love will never meet again,On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond.Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view,And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring,And in sunshine the waters are sleeping:But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again,Tho' the waefu' may cease from their greeting.
