Alasdair à Gleanna Garadh
Thug thu 'n diugh gal air mo shùilean
'S beag iongnadh mi bhith trom chreuchdach
'S gur tric gar reubadh as ùr sinn
'S deachdar dhomhsa bhith gun osnaich
'S meud an dosgaich air mo chàirdibh
Gur tric an t-eug oirnn a' gearradh
Taghadh nan darag as àirde.
Chaill sinn ionann agus còmhla
Sir Dòmhnall 's a mhac 's a bhràthair.
-
Alasdair of Glengarry
You have caused me to shed tears today
Small wonder that I am covered with wounds
And that they are repeatedly being burst open
Small wonder that I am filled with deep sighing
Considering all the misfortune that has befallen my friends
Death is constantly cutting off from us
The best of the tallest oaks.
We lost almost at the same time
Sir Donald, his son and his brother.
(Sileas na Ceapaich, c.1660-1729)

Stuart MacRae Edinburgh, UK
I'm a composer from Scotland. I've written a lot of operas, orchestral and vocal music; here you'll find more intimate, self-produced tracks. Headphones recommended!
Stuart MacRae recommends:
Landvættirnar fjórar
by Guðmundur Steinn Gunnarsson
Playful but somehow serious at the same time and, weirdly, both unsettling and comforting - the commitment is total in this music.
go to album
Inventive, playful and thoughtful tributes - I love the mixture of formal and informal media, and the sense of absorption on this album.
go to album
'from Void' holds nothing back, creating arresting, immersive, throaty textures, while Bestiary I & II weaves subtle live electronics and instrumental haloes around beautiful vocal phrases.
