My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose
Love Songs by Robbie Burns

Meredith Hall, soprano
La Nef

ACD2 2336

For its first recording on the ATMA Classique label, La Nef presents a program devoted to Scottish poet Robbie Burns (1759-1796).   Burns set music and arranged some 400 of his poems, and in doing so, played an important part in preserving the music and songs of his native Scotland.   With the exceptional participation of soprano Meredith Hall, who has been lauded for her preciseness and lushness of tone, La Nef convenes us to a meeting between knowledgeable music and popular tradition, to the strains of the theorbo, Baroque guitar, harp, flutes, and viola da gamba.

Charlie he's my darling
Comin Thro' the Rye
Grimstock / The Old Mole / Cuckolds all a row
When o'er the hill the e'ening star
Hugh O'Donnel
Simmer's a pleasant time
What can a young lassie do wi' an auld man
My Tocher's the Jewel
She's Fair and Fause
The gloomy night is gath'ring fast
Carolan's Dream
My love is like a red, red rose
Last May, a braw wooer
Welsh Dance “Pwt-ar-y-Bys”
My love was born in Aberdeen
O let me in this ae night
Lament for Owen Roe O'Neill
John Anderson my jo
Ye banks and braes
Now Nature hangs her mantle green
Sheebeg and Sheemore
Bumper Squire Jones
Carolan's Favourite Jig
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
