Scotland is a country of truly astounding contrasts.  The many varieties of willow trees of Skye grow in some of the most sublime and haunting terrain known to mankind.  Players will be attracted to the lilting and poignant melody which is shared amongst the ensemble.  The bag-pipe section will give players a good opportunity to refine their intonation.  Fiddlin’ in Aberdeen is inspired by the wonderful fiddle festivals that abound in this busy town on Scotland’s east coast.  Left-hand pizzicato, harmonics and string crossings will help promote a solid technique.
