Highland Cradle Song
Primarily a pipe tune, strongly associated with the Scots Guards. Also suitable for inclusion with a waltz set at a ceilidh, and my abc submission reflects this latter useage.
Although the title incorporates the word: "song", there is some debate as to whether there are actually any lyrics associated with it.
A wistful and haunting melody ...
