Music

You can listen to some of my work on www.myspace.com/karenmarshalsay

I currently have four tracks there:

Helen's Farewell / Dhomhnuill a Dhomhnuill - from the Harp House CD, I wrote the first tune when Helen Bullen retired from the RSAMD, the second I found in Frances Tolmie's collection and arranged for harp.

Cuttie's Wedding / Glenlivet - my arrangement of a  traditional strathspey and reel, recorded as part of the LTS Traditional Music Teachers' Resource. to let school teachers hear what's appropriate.

Culross - a piece for string orchestra and woodwind, based on the tune from the 1635 Scottish Psalter. Recorded as part of a Distil workshop.

Journeying extract  from my 1999 New Voices commission featuring gut, bray, wire and Paraguayan harps with 2 percussionists. Live recording.

You can also listen to  two short excerpts of The Eagle's Whistle (an Irish march) and The Red Haired Girl of Tulloch (a strathspey) by clicking on the links.
