Scottish Weekend CD for 1998
Take the music home: Purchase the 1998 CD, "Memories of Scottish Weekend" and/or "More Memories of Scottish Weekend," from 2002. CDs may be purchased at Scottish Weekend!
Since 1989 Scottish country dancers and musicians have gathered in the fall
for a weekend of dancing in the DC/Philadelphia area. At the request of many
participants, the Scottish Weekend committee decided to produce this souvenir
CD.
The committee wishes to give special thanks to the musicians and engineers for
creating such a fine recording of our 1998 ball and is also grateful to the
volunteers, composers, and financial backers who made production and
distribution of the CD possible.
The Musicians
The staff musicians perform together in various combinations from time to
time, so the unique Scottish Weekend 1998 ensemble has a cohesiveness and tight
delivery seldom found in an informal band. Members of the ensemble are Liz
Donaldson, Earl Gaddis, Ralph Gordon, Steve Hickman, Anne Hooper, Calum
MacKinnon, and Marty Taylor. Piper Dan Emery joins them on track 4. Track 7 is
a performance by the 1998 music class with pianist Dave Wiesler and some
members of the ensemble under the direction of Calum MacKinnon.
The Music
The waltz Lullaby for Kim is dedicated in loving memory to the late Kim
McGarrity, founder and director of the Scottish country dance band
"Fiddlesticks and Ivory."
Arrangements are by Liz Donaldson except track 7 which is by Calum MacKinnon.
