Historical Notes:
Niel Gows Lament For The Death Of His Second Wife  Niel Gow (17271807), born in Strathbraan in Perthshire, was a famous Scottish fiddler, a travelling dance instructor and lyricist. This tune was written for his second wife, Margaret Urquhart, although there is a persistent story that in fact his second wife was his beloved fiddle - which had been damaged. The tune is also known as Niel Gows Lament.
Eriskay Love Lilt  This is a romantic Gaelic song that tells of a man who has lost his gift for music in his loneliness and longing for the woman he loves.   The tune was collected by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser, adapted and given the title Eriskay Love Lilt. Alternative titles are Bheir Mi O and Gràdh Geal Mo Chridh.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
