Hamish Maccunn Parry Campbell Grieg Covent Garden 1823 1868 1887 1896 1900 1916
#3 from 'Six Scotch Dances' (1896) / The Scottish composer Hamish MacCunn (or Mac Cunn +••.••(...))) actually spent much of his life in London, where he studied at the Royal College of Music with Stanford and Parry. However most of his music is coloured by his Scottish origins and interests, and his most famous work is the overture 'The Land of the Mountain and the Flood' (1887). He wrote in most genres, and notably Scottish-themed operas, one of which 'Jeanie Deans' was performed at Covent Garden. MacCunn also taught and conducted, and according to the Wikipedia article on him, died young from the strain of overwork. His six Scotch dances were dedicated to George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll +••.••(...)), who was a noted intellectual. This vigorous dance is basically Brahmsian in its technique and harmonic movement, but the use of ornaments to suggest sounds of the fiddle maybe derives from Grieg. The overall effect seems original. A gillie (or ghillie) is a Scottish term for an assistant at a hunt. / / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )

Although this piece is quite reflective, the set as a whole is highly energised, and technically and harmonically innovative - and is far removed from the salon arrangements of the likes of 'Bonnie Dundee' popular at the time. / / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )
