Gustav Holst - Seven Scottish Airs

This month is Kilted To Kick Cancer.  Hmm ... kilts.  What sort of classical music would you get from that?  As it turns out, quite a lot.  This month will see Sunday Classical selections highlighting the rich Scottish classical music tradition.

First up, Gustav Holst, who we've seen here before.



I was a bit surprised at just how much classical music about Scotland there is, including from guys like Haydn and Beethoven.  Stay tuned this month.

    After about the first 20 seconds I'm singing, "What shall we do with a drunken sailor..."

    Always something to learn -- the only Holst i knew was "The Planets" .

    Didn't know about the Scottish connection.

    Good job.
