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?

Arranged for unison voices with optional 2nd part and piano. A CD of the accompaniment is included.
