The Corrie Man

商品描述:
Hey fiddlers,

One thing we know about old Scottish folk tunes is they never grow old, and even though we may never know who first wrote the delightful melody, “The Corrie Man,” we can tell from its lilting qualities—with its cheerful and spirited flow—that it brings to us images of the u-shaped valleys that are so familiar to the highlands of Scotland.

We can easily imagine playing this traditional session tune among the rolling hills and farmlands of Scotland where musicians gather in their favorite places to play—near a tree or brook, on a farmhouse porch, in a sitting room or even in the kitchen. Not to mention the casual setting of a pub where friends gather to raise a pint and sit in a big circle with an array of other fiddlers and musicians, playing tunes side-by-side enjoying each other’s company!

With this backdrop our cellist Genevieve dedicated her time to arrange this artful reel for string quartet as part of our debut album, after which she had the wonderful opportunity to visit Scotland to study and perform with Alisdair Fraser and Natalie Haas, who inspired her to be a part of the rich tradition of preserving and performing Scottish folk music.

We hope you will find that same inspiration while playing this piece with your friends and colleagues as much as we do. It’s always a favorite showstopper!

Slàinte Mhath (Cheers)

嗨，提琴手們、

儘管我們可能永遠不知道這首旋律悅耳的《寇里人》最早是誰寫的，但我們可以從它輕快的特質--歡快活潑的旋律--中看出，它給我們帶來了蘇格蘭高地所熟悉的 U 形山谷的意象。

我們不難想像，在蘇格蘭連綿起伏的丘陵和農田中，音樂家們聚集在他們最喜歡的地方演奏這首傳統的小調--在樹旁或小溪旁、農舍門廊上、起居室裡，甚至在廚房裡。 更不用說酒館這種休閒場所了，朋友們聚在一起，舉起一品脫，與其他小提琴手和音樂家圍成一個大圈，並肩演奏曲子，享受彼此的陪伴！

在這樣的背景下，我們的大提琴手吉納維芙花了很多時間為絃樂四重奏編排了這首充滿藝術氣息的卷軸曲，作為我們首張專輯的一部分。之後，她有幸前往蘇格蘭，與阿裡斯戴爾-弗雷澤和娜塔莉-哈斯一起學習和表演。

我們希望您在與朋友和同事演奏這首曲子時，也能像我們一樣找到同樣的靈感。 它總是最受歡迎的表演曲目！

乾杯
