🎻 Fun with Gut Strings 🎻
It's been a looooong time since I've had the chance to outfit my #fiddle with a full-on #Baroque set up: #gutstrings, #Baroquebow, tuning down to A415... It felt so good to explore this way of playing again!

A traditional Shetland fiddle tune that I like, "Willafjord", has an unusual rhythm, so I composed a tune called "Longworth Bridge" to go with it, and my friend Ron helped me record it:

The broken remains of James Macpherson’s fiddle are held in the Clan Macpherson Museum, Newtonmore. They also have the original Banff town clock, reputedly set forward by 45 minutes to ensure that Macpherson was executed before an expected reprieve could arrive.

James MacPherson's broken fiddle, as exhibited in the Clan MacPherson Museum, Newtonmore.

An open, flat wooden box. Propped up inside it is an old, broken, stringless fiddle. Parts of the smashed body of the instrument are collected at one end of the box. The fiddle's bow is held inside the lid by two leather straps.

Mac/McPherson’s Rant/Lament/Farewell etc. persisted as a folk song in various forms. Robert Burns produced a version “written for this work” for the SCOTS MUSICAL MUSEUM vol.2 (1788). It diverges from the traditional lyrics but keeps the same tune.

The first verse and the chorus are given on a musical stave; the text of the verses are grouped underneath.

McPherson’s Farewell
Written for this Work by Robert Burns

Farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong,
The wretch’s destinie!
McPherson’s time will not be long,
On yonder gallows-tree.

Chorus
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly,
Sae dauntingly gaed he;
He play’d a spring, and danc’d it round,
Below the gallows-tree.

O what is death but parting breath?
On many a bloody plain
I’ve dar’d his face, and in this place
I scorn him yet again!
Sae rantingly, &c.

Untie these bands from off my hands,
And bring me to my sword;
And there’s no a man in all Scotland,
But I’ll brave him at a word.
Sae rantingly, &c.

I’ve liv’d a life of sturt and strife;
I die by treacherie:
It burns my heart I must depart,
And not avenged be.
Sae rantingly, &c.

Now farewell light, thou sunshine bright,
And all beneath the sky!
May coward shame distain his name,
The wretch that dares not die!
Sae rantingly, &c.

Giving my website some long overdue TLC, and testing to see if the 'featured image' shows up with this link.

...and if you are into printmaking, squirrels or bluegrass music, you might want to give this page a visit :)
Hope you all are having a great Friday evening!!

UPDATE: I couldn't get the featured image to show up, so I added it to the post :(
