BACH: Partita No. 6 BWV 830 Contents: Toccata, Allemande, Courante, Air, Sarabande, Gavotta, Gigue. The Partita No. 6 is the last and most complex of Bach's six partitas published as part of his Clavier-Übung I.  It is considered Bach's greatest suite and the crowning work of the set, featuring some of the most dramatic and ambitious writing in his keyboard repertoire.  The partita consists of seven movements, all in the key of E minor. It opens with a lengthy and virtuosic toccata-like movement, followed by an allemande, corrente, sarabande, tempo di gavotta, gigue, and an air.  The sarabande movement is renowned, described as a pure lamento and perhaps the most intensely expressive piece in all of Bach's works for harpsichord. The final gigue movement returns to the very origins of the French suite itself with an archaic yet modern style. Overall, Partita No. 6 is the pinnacle of Bach's keyboard suite compositions, showcasing his mastery of counterpoint, virtuosity, and emotional expression.

The Skye Boat Song is a late 19th-century Scottish song adaptation of a Gaelic song composed c.1782 by William Ross, entitled Cuachag nan Craobh (Cuckoo of the Tree). In the original song, the composer laments to a cuckoo that his unrequited love, Lady Marion Ross, is rejecting him. The 19th-century English lyrics instead evoked the journey of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) from Benbecula to the Isle of Skye as he evaded capture by government soldiers after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. It is often played as a slow lullaby or waltz. It entered the modern folk canon in the twentieth century with versions by Paul Robeson, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Roger Whittaker, Tori Amos, and many others. Bear McCreary adapted the song as the opening theme music of the 2014 TV series Outlander, sung by Raya Yarbrough, changing the text of Robert Louis Stevenson's poem Sing Me a Song of a Lad That Is Gone (1892) to Lass to fit the story.
