| Item Description | Sandy Troup was a composer and teacher of fiddle music from the North East of Scotland. Skinner's description of the piece is interesting: he calls it a 'primitive' strathspey. He also refers to drones (bagpipe) in the last line. Skinner's extremely simple accompaniments are reminiscent of the simple cello basses he would provide as a child to Peter Milne's violin playing. They are also simple because Skinner felt that strathspey accompaniments should be just that, so that they would enhance, rather than detract from the rhythm of the melody. |
