$21.00

Price includes shipping within the U.S. Shipping charges will apply to international orders. Questions? Please contact us.

This CD features beautiful, simple, and intimate Scottish melodies of the 18th century.  Though the ballads on this recording are primarily concerned with eros, many use rich imagery to convey the fundamental connection the people had to the land and to nature in general.

Recorded on September 17 & 18, 1999 at St. Stephens Episcopal School, Austin, TX. Jay Norwood, Recording Engineer.
