Kindred Spirits
$24.95
This is a note-for-note transcription of Bonnie Rideout’s Kindred Spirits recording. Bonnie Rideout is a master of the Scottish Fiddling genre. In her words, “It has been my desire to create a musical portrait honoring the contributions, great and small, that women have made to the Scots culture over the centuries. Most of the music was written by men who were inspired by women. The titles portray women of all social levels. They are lovers, patrons, employers, connoisseurs, drunkards, and cheats. On the final track of the Kindred Spirits recording is an original piobaireachd (pibroch). I wrote it as a eulogy to Scots women who have passed on the legacy of honest hard work and pride in their own traditions: a legacy which has served to nourish the human spirit.”
