I wrote this tune in 192 for a show called "A Song for Yarrow" written by Walter Elliot and celebrating the beautiful Yarrow valley in song, music and verse. The "Upland Way" is the long distance footpath that crosses southern Scotland (The Southern Upland Way) but it can refer to the more challenging path that some choose. The pipes signify variations in the path and the oboe weaves wind, sunshine, wildflowers and birds along the way.
