Rawlins Cross - MacPherson’s Lament

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “It is said that MacPherson (a Scottish outlaw/fiddler) composed this air and played it on the gallows before he was hanged. Present at this event were three scoundrels drawing lots to see which one of them would have MacPherson’s fiddle after his demise. MacPherson finished the tune and broke the instrument over his knee to keep it from falling into their hands. This piece is a classic and has remained in our repertoire from the beginning. from Celtic Instrumentals, released April 29, 1997 Traditional“
