Graysteil:
MUSIC FROM THE MIDDLE AGES AND RENAISSANCE IN SCOTLAND
ROB MACKILLOP, LUTES
WILLIAM TAYLOR , CLARSACHS [HARPS]
WITH
ANDY HUNTER , BALLAD SINGER
PAUL RENDALL, TENOR
In Scotland we are fortunate to enjoy a living oral tradition which features the performance of lengthy ballads to simple melodies in a manner which would certainly have been recognisable to our forebears in previous centuries, and it seems sensible to draw on this tradition when reconstructing a performance of "Graysteil." This cross-fertilisation between the traditional and art music of Scotland also serves helpfullly to undermine our modern habit of catagorising music, an irrelevance which would never even have occurred to James IV or his "fithelaris"!- D. James Ross
