Review:
Dedicated to the composer's friend and mentor, Tim Waugh, "The Rowan Tree" is a heartfelt Scottish ballad (featured in the movie
Living) that is perfect for a calm, uplifting moment in a concert or festival.
Scores #1 and #2 (in the same folio -
MRE8538) are fully scored 3-5 octave versions that offer an optional Bell Tree, pennywhistle, or C instrument solo. This piece is a wonderful choice for festival and concert use with its elegantly arranged 8th-note arpeggios, grace notes, and clear melody line.
Score #3 (
RE5624R) is set for a solo Bell Tree or Ringing Solo/Duet with piano accompaniment and optional penny whistle or C-instrument. Rated Medium-Easy, a counter-melody in the middle of the piece allows the soloist to become part of the accompaniment pattern, then it reprises the melody for the final section. A free piano accompaniment mp3 download is available - click the 'Download Tracks' button below.
