This arrangement of Scottish traditional songs includes three iconic Scottish melodies: Bluebells of Scotland, Turn Again, Thou Fair Elisa, and Annie Laurie. The long soaring melodies and bagpipe-style drones of these songs work beautifully for horn quartet. These arrangements are ideal for weddings, preludes, funerals, and any recital.

The origins of Scottish traditional music date back to at least the late Middle Ages, with songs passed down orally until many of the songs were published in collections in the 18th century. Scotland’s National Poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) famously collected Scottish folk songs and adapted many of the melodies to include his poetry.

Today, elements of Scottish traditional music are found in epic film soundtracks such as Braveheart, Mary Queen of Scots, and Rob Roy, as well as classical symphonic works including Mendelssohn’s Scottish symphony.

Bluebells of Scotland was most famously used by Arthur Pryor in his piece Blue Bells of Scotland for solo trombone and band. There are a few different versions of the melody Turn Again, Thou Fair Elisa, but the melody Robert Burns used (as published in the 1903 edition of The Songs of Robert Burns) is arguably the most beautiful. The timeless song Annie Laurie describes the ill-fated romance between Scottish soldier William Douglas and Annie Laurie, the young daughter of a British aristocrat. The music is often attributed to Lady John Scott (1810-1900).

Auld Lang Syne is a popular song, particularly in the English-speaking world. Traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. By extension, it is also often heard at funerals, graduations, retirements, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional tune, which has since become standard. The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as old long since or, less literally, long long ago, days gone by, times long past, or old times. Consequently, for auld lang syne, as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as for the sake of old times. This SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet arrangement gives each player an opportunity to play the melody. It is suitable for a wide variety of concerts, performance settings, or other occasions. The duration is 1:50. Contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com.

The eleven folk songs in this collection are all from the British Isles or American tradition. They were selected and arranged for my personal voice students, many of whom are beginning singers. This edition is for singers with medium-high voices. Upper ranges approach the top of the treble clef but do not go above the staff. The common thread for all the songs is to provide interesting arrangements for singers of a variety of skill levels with accompaniments that usually are very supportive of young or less experienced voices. All are available separately or in choral settings in a variety of voicings. The songs in this edition are: Down in the Valley (American), All the Pretty Little Horses (American), All Through the Night (Welsh), Annie Laurie (Scottish), The Ash Grove (Welsh), The Colorado Trail (American), Barb’ra Allen (English), The Crystal Spring (English), Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes (English), Greensleeves (English), and Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier (Irish/American). Volume 2 contains an additional eleven folk songs. Each volume is also available for medium-low voices.
