DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume presents forty-seven waulking songs recorded in South Uist, Barra, and the adjacent smaller islands between 1938 and 1965. Intensely evocative of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Highlands and Islands, these songs are one of the most interesting folk survivals of western Europe. Documenting a remarkable oral tradition of folkmusic, this work contains an analysis of the motifs found in the older waulking sounds, musical notes by Francis Collinson, and a chapter listing the songs in the three volumes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1977. Frances Tolmie (1840-1926) was one of the foremost Gaelic folklore and folksong experts. This account of her life and work places her unique contribution to human song against a full personal, historical and cultural background. The book includes a selection of the songs she heard and wrote down, together with the part they played in her life and that of her circle and the larger community. Moving in a variety of circles, Frances Tolmie experienced the warm domesticity of an enlightened Skye manse, the cultural bustle of upper middle-class Edinburgh ‘entrepreneurs’, the romantic serious-mindedness of the first Cambridge women students, the sensitive nature-loving community round Ruskin at Coniston, and spent her later sociable years back in Scotland. This book, with its historical introduction by Flora MacLeod and musical introduction by Frank Howes along with Ethel Bassin's own detailed introduction, reflects her profound study of the song and folklore of her people, and describes how she recorded a precious part of British traditional culture, catching it alive and sharing it as truly as possible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe definitive Gaelic-English anthology of medieval Scottish verse: an annotated treasure trove of literary history spanning a millennium. Duanaire na Sracaire—or Songbook of the Pillagers—is the first anthology to bring together Scotland’s Gaelic poetry from c.600-1600 AD, a time when Scotland shared its rich culture with Ireland. It includes a huge range of diverse poetry: prayers and hymns of Iona, Fenian lays, praise poems and satires, courtly songs and lewd rants, songs of battle and death, incantations and love poems. All poems appear with facing-page translations which capture the spirit and beauty of the originals and are accompanied by detailed notes. A comprehensive introduction sets the context and analyses the role and functions of poetry in Gaelic society. This collection will appeal to poetry lovers, Gaelic speakers and those keen to explore a vital part of Scotland’s literary heritage.
