Songs of Gaelic Scotland

Gaelic singer and songwriter Anne Lorne Gillies has compiled music and lyrics from every corner of the Gaelic-speaking Highlands and islands illustrating an extraordinary tradition that stretches from the bardic effusions of ancient times to the Celtic fusions of today's vibrant young musicians and poets.

Musical transcripts are accompanied by line-by-line English translations as well as references to alternative sources, academic, literary and oral. In addition to a huge amount of social and historical background, the author also offers her own commentary on technical aspects of the music and its performance and adds carefully researched biographical notes and a full discography.

A fine un-read off mint condition softcover book.
