Mrs Hamilton of Pencaitland

from Autumn Airs by Gordon Mooney

/

about

This beautiful tune was composed by Nathaniel Gow (1763 - 1831) and appears in the Gow's 3rd Collection 1792. I have arranged it for whistle and Scottish Smallpipes. The pipes play the tune in the key of C, the key that the tune was written in. Unlike some other arrangements for pipes I have tried to be faithful to the music that Nathaniel wrote and have approached the arrangement by playing the melody over two octaves on the whistle and having the pipes follow within one octave so as to create a duet. The tune was written for Janet Dundas (1764 - 1810) wife of Colonel Hamilton of Pencaitland. The Dundas family were the ruling political aristocracy of the time. Pencaitland is a pretty village in East Lothian, Scotland.
