Description
The partnership of great melody and strong words makes songs very memorable, and the idea of learning and absorbing important aspects of history through song is a powerful one.
In this short cantata, I Landed with Seven Men, five Scots songs associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite rebellion are placed in their historical context with short narrations.
These well-known songs can be performed in any combination in their own right, with new arrangements by Ken Johnston, or performed as a whole with narration to make a 20-minute concert piece.
Johnnie Cope is a brand new setting, and the other four pieces use the recognised traditional tunes.
- Charlie is My Darling
- Johnnie Cope
- Wi’ a Hundred Pipers
- Skye Boat Song
- Will Ye No’ Come Back Again?
An accompaniment CD is available separately from NYCoS. An orchestrated version is available to hire.
