Twa Burns Songs

for SABar and piano Rory Boyle's Twa Burns Songs are arrangements of two traditional Scottish folk songs, setting words by Robert Burns. The lilting legato accompaniment of the first song, 'Afton Water', emulates the vivid description of the River Afton. The second song, 'Ae Fond Kiss', uses Scotch snap rhythms and matches the wistful character of the poem. Guidance on the pronunciation of Scots words is given in the leaflet.
