Description

During our stay in the spa town of Bridge-of-Allan on our 1992 performance tour of Scotland, the concepts leading to this recording began to take shape. As we sorted through books of traditional Scots tunes, we found in these sources tunes we knew from our collective fife and drum experience alongside hundreds we had never heard. Since those familiar tunes had long ago been adapted in the folk tradition to the fifes and drums of 18th century New England militia, we felt that a leap of faith would allow us to adapt tunes from these same pages, books, and composers to our fife and drum ensemble today.
