Niel Gow's Lament - Laura Risk with Voices of Music | Scottish fiddle tune

[@jimcrawford5039]

Brought a tear to this celt’s eyes. Been gone for near 60 years, the music pulls at the heartstrings. Beautiful!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you.

[@KevOSMusic]

Such a wonderful celtic air full of traditional ornamentation.

[@warder1701d]

I had the opportunity to go to Scotland a couple of years ago, essentially it was a dream come true. When I stepped off of the plane I felt like I was home. The first four notes of this song, and I had that feeling again. I've never had this reaction to music before. Thank you for sharing!

Magnificent performance

Beautiful rendition. I can imagine and feel this music when played in the scottish highlands.

[@jaji8549]

I was recently introduced to this piece and the Gow family of composers while at Sturbridge Village. This specific rendition and channel were recommended to me to hear the best version. Thank you for not disappointing!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you!

[@philipandrewlabriaga8673]

This is the first performance of a piece coming from you Voices of Music that made me cry. Thank you so much.

[@deannesherriff3247]

I recently lost a much loved Aunt, and I played this on recorder for her. Thank you so much for this lovely rendition.

[@Garrett_Rowland]

Very interesting piece. Something about it feels very modern.

[@hellomate639]

It's because the folk musical styles of Ireland and Scotland are quite popular as a composition style today.

This lament is for his second wife. No mention of what happened to the first one. Baller move. Beautiful tune

[@VoicesofMusic]

His first wife was Margaret Wiseman, and they had five sons and three daughters. No lament for the first wife, but son Nathaniel was a composer of note, as well as music director, publisher and royal trumpeter.

[@VoicesofMusic]

No worries!

[@crypton_8l87]

some people have no idea what to do with beauty.. they're actually afraid to indulge in it.. so they dont understand someone else's preoccupation with the sublime

Beautiful sound, beautiful lament. Thanks! By the way, I can't remember the name of the cellist and I don't know the harpist's name. Can you help me out, please?!

[@VoicesofMusic]

(FYI: all the names of the musicians are listed in the info and also at the end of the video) Voices of Music Hanneke van Proosdij and David Tayler, directors Laura Risk, baroque violin Alana Youssefian, baroque violin Peter Maund, frame drum Hanneke van Proosdij, harpsichord David Tayler, archlute The harpsist is Cheryl Ann Fulton, she's not playing in this piece.

Are baroque instruments always tuned down half a tone (a C# where normally there would be a D) ?

[@VoicesofMusic]

Not always, but very often. Some of our videos are at 466Hz, a half step higher (the Cima video).

[@poyrazengin708]

Wich brand string use your violinst?

Laura is using Aquila strings for this performance. aquilacorde.com/old/early-music-strings/violin-family/94/violin-viola-cello/?lang=en

Is the music to this available on the imslp?

[@VoicesofMusic]

There are a lot of versions on the internet but we made our own arrangement, will upload it eventually.....

[@FiddlerSteve]

The original's in Gow's 5th Collection of Strathspeys, Reels & c. I don't think that's on either IMSLP or the National Library of Scotland online collection (IMSLP has the first 3). It's a very popular tune in the Scottish fiddle repertoire, wouldn't be difficult to find online.
