O 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.
Loch Lomond is a story of two imprisoned Scottish soldiers, one scheduled to be released and the other scheduled for execution. In Celtic mythology, the slain soldier's soul will travel back to his homeland via the low road. The music is a strange and beautiful mixture of sad and uplifting emotions.
Based on R. Vaughan Williams' 1921 choral arrangement of Loch Lomond, this arrangement is for 3 Bb trumpets, 1 horn in F, 1 trombone, and 1 tuba, with optional treble and bass clef euphonium parts. Performance time is approximately 1'45. The arranger is willing to accomodate minor changes of instrumentation upon request.
