about

The rivers of Scotland and particularly the River Tweed are famed for their salmon. The Celts venerated the salmon as a magical and wise creature able to live in air, salt water and fresh water. They believed that the salmon could cross from the mortal to the spirit world. In this piece the salmon is depicted by the bagpipe - from its early days in the shallows of the river then then the start of its heroic fight out across and back across the ocean to its final desparate struggle up river to spawn and die. The elements of the water surge and storm are portrayed by the clarinet.
