Farewell to Stromness 

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies composed his haunting "Farewell to Stromness" to protest uranium mining in Orkney's West Mainland, joining Orkney poet George Mackay Brown and many other Orcadians in speaking out against the destruction of Stromness. Our thanks to pianist Simon Mulligan for permitting us to use his beautiful performance of the piece.
