Titre: The Wawking of the Faulds - I Wish I Wou'd Marry Me - An Caora Crom - Ratha Fair - Haud the Lass Till I Come At Her - Clean Peas Strae
The Wawking of the faulds-I wish you wou'd marry me now- An Caora cròm-Ratha fair-Haud the lass till I come at her-Clean Peas Strae. The Wawking of the faulds is sung to a lovely flowing pentatonic tune. Originally it had bawdy words which were replaced by Ramsay who used the tune for "My Peggy Is A Young Thing" in his pastoral ballad opera, The Gentle Shepherd, published in 1729. The title means "The watching over the sheepfolds", which would often be overnight -- especially at lambing time when foxes had to be kept at bay.
The situation evoked is one in which there was leisure for a shepherd to play his pipe, with or without the aid of a shepherdess. It was popular enough to be in the repertoire of a late 18th century musical clock made by John Smith of Pittenweem and now in the National Museum of Scotland, and, in the late 19th-century, Sir Alexander Campbell Mackenzie used this tune as the basis of the slow movement of his Scottish Piano Concerto, which was premiered by Padarewski.
The song is followed by a set of lively reels. I wish you wou'd marry me now comes from Robert Bremner's first collection of c.1751. An Caora Cròm is Gaelic for "The Crooked-horned Sheep" and is found in the McFarlane manuscript of c.1740. Haud the lass till I come at her dates from 1816, and Clean Peas Strae from one of the many Gow publications of the late 18th-century. The reel is a dance form unique to Scotland and, despite the consistent use of a steady quaver rhythm, and the double tonic forming the
harmonic basis of practically every piece, it is amazing the variety that has been obtained, and the patterning in the melodic lines is often much more inventive than the standard patterning in rococo music. A good set of reels, such as this one, should leave dancers, musicians -- and even listeners, breathless.

Che meraviglia!!! 🙏
Why does this sound so familiar? I don't know why, but I fell in love with this song instantly.
Maybe you incarnated here once upon a time. Perhaps your soul transmigrated when your former host emigrated abroad.
Watch Cloud Atlas. If nothing else, it's a nice film.
I recognize the last part of the flute tune from the movie Braveheart
Es fabuloso, magnifico!..me llena de ilusión. Grandes músicos y sublime flautista!.
A lovely voice. Thanks for the post.
Very fine playing; very fine singing.
Little bit of history there, liked it, well done thx four posting
Lovely! However, the description has some faulty information. For example, the reel is not a dance form unique to Scotland. That is a gross misstatement. The reel dance form may have originated in Scotland, but it has been popular throughout the British Isles and America, especially in Ireland, for hundreds of years.
Wow! Thank you! I was looking for great 18th century music. Surely, Robert Burns would love this! What have you done that he wrote or saved? ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver
'John Anderson my Jo John is' on the album 'Forever Fortune,' as is 'Adew Dundee' uses the tune Burns used for 'The Belles of Mauchline'

So is this court music mixed with folk music? Anyone?
