* Twenty-five pieces dating back to 18th and 19th century cotland.
* Includes song and fiddle airs, strathspeys, reels, jigs, a hornpipe and the sword dance.
* Since the viola generally has the melody, the pieces can also be played by solo viola, and guitar chords are included.
* The airs have a special beauty and the dances are fun to play, with lively tempos, dotted rhythms, and sudden key changes.
Anne Witt began playing the viola as a child, always preferring its distinctly mellow tone. She studied
art and music at Goucher College and has played in orchestras, chamber ensembles, and string quartets over
many years. She took up the bagpipe as an adult and performs regularly as a soloist at ceremonial events near
her home. An interest in Scottish fiddle music prompted her to begin arranging fiddle tunes for viola. She has
also published Scottish Fiddling for Viola (Mel Bay).
