A really rocky sounding jig composed by Dougie Maclean. Made very popular by it's use in the film 'The Last of the Mohicans'.
Instruments on this video are acoustic fiddle, synth (roland jp8000) and bass guitar.

This is the only version of this song where I stop what I'm doing and just take it in every time I hear it.

Love the slightly wailing notes of this fiddle. Exactly as I imagined it would have been played in period. Had it been written then. Haunting.

@rwcoastal7583 8 лет назад

EXCELLENT.. Best sound I've heard from several RU-vid videos... and you are not posing.. running.. jumping... acting or running around in something scanty (thanks for sparing us!) STRAIGHTFORWARD GOOD PLAYING! Excellent.

@peakfiddler 8 лет назад

Well it can be arranged, but would probably be done better by one of my grandchildren, haha.. Regarding wearing something scanty, sorry I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy..

@colleenc4621 4 года назад

I love this version. It's hard to put your finger on it but some musicians can elicit a mood. This song really does it for me.

@siouxroslawski1670 3 года назад

I bought the soundtrack to the movie for just this piece of music. It's gorgeous, and haunting, and is played wonderfully here. (I'm a teacher and used to teach at a school where all 3rd graders took violin lessons. One year I decided to take lessons with my students, and the results were hilarious. I think the teacher "passed" me on three songs, out of pity and because then she wouldn't have to listen to me play anymore ;) and my students learned a dozen or more songs that year.) To sum up my rambling: playing a violin is difficult, but playing with such artisty and emotion... that's a whole other thing.

@peakfiddler 3 года назад

That's a real challenge, well done for having a go and adopting such a positive take on your experience

@peakfiddler 9 лет назад

Thanks Amelia and Christine, retirement is great. Means you can spend more time to doing the things you enjoy the most..

@SBW4453U 3 года назад

The way you transition into the 2nd part of the 1st “verse” at 0:15 and then just hold those notes right after instead of trilling them (like in the original) seriously makes ALL the difference and so makes it so much better. Also the slight sliding sounds you make when you change notes and that you trill the “call” and not the “response”. This should have been the way it was originally written imo. Adds so much more emotion. BRAVO! I hope that made sense lmfao

@peakfiddler 3 года назад

Thank you for your interesting analysis and comment. Best wishes

@rimmelosmoloc4158 Год назад

It doesn't even matter if I don't understand the "musical technicalities" you are taking about, but, "This should have been the way it was originally written,... Adds a lot more emotion," is something a lot of people who have listened to this would have felt. Somehow it just felt like Mr. Chris Perry's interpretation just feels right in your ears.

After breaking my right shoulder I couldn't play the guitar or the banjo for 5 months, so I decided to learn the fiddle just to keep me sane. I really appreciate the effort involved and your FEEL for the music jumps straight out my computer screen. Going to have a big spliff ;). and practice this one now too. Thanks!

@alisakhodos7453 4 года назад

As a classical violinist, it’s very interesting to see a completely different way of playing and holding the violin, with such wonderful results! It’s proof that there is no one “right” way of playing. I’m inspired to give fiddling a try! Thank you!

@peakfiddler 4 года назад

Thanks Alisa for your very positive comment, I guess it's all down to simply using the instrument as a vehicle to get where you want to go.
