Product Description

The fiddle has been popular in Scotland for over 500 years as an accompanying instrument for dance and song. Bonnie Rideout has been playing traditional Scottish fiddle music since the 1980s. This collection presents favorite tunes which Bonnie had stashed away over the years while awaiting the perfect opportunity to record them. The music performed here ranges from J. Scott Skinner's Dr. Gordon Stable (a wonderful fiery reel she once played to garner her first national fiddling title as a young teenager), to Fear A Bhata, which, as Bonnie writes in the liner notes, after thirty years still bursts out of me during moments of intense melancholy. The final set of tunes, beginning with Purser's Air, is a collection of new compositions written for old friends. An unaccompanied work, it reflects Bonnie's undying passion for Scottish fiddle music. It is her wish that these melodies will grow on you as they have grown on her.
