PROGRAM NOTE
As a follow-up to our song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble (or piano), Robert and I  agreed the concept of five characters looking for love online should have a male counterpart. Written for baritone and chamber ensemble, In Real Life II looks at five contemporary men clicking their way to second chances and romance. In “No Frog” we meet a prototypical player, a guy who fluffs his profile, but the truth keeps slipping out. The tone shifts with “Sola Fide,” in which a U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan explains the tattoo on his chest and the wounds inside. An older gentleman envisions one last fling in the irreverent “Die with Me.” In “Still Vamping,” a gay man muses on his start-and-stop romantic history. Finally, in “Nice-Plus,” an everyday guy reveals a hidden passion. In Real Life II was commissioned by American Modern Ensemble with funding from the Doctorow Family Foundation.

Tune penned by Roy Williamson (The Corries) in 1968. In March 1990, during the last match of the Five Nations Championship between England and Scotland, it has been played for the first time in Murrayfield, just before Scotland's victory.
In 1993, the Scottish Rugby Union decided that Flower Of Scotland will be played before every match to replace… God Save The Queen! 
The song celebrates the victory of the Scottish patriots against the English invasion during the first independence war (1296-1328). Led by Robert The Bruce, the Scottish army sent home the troops of the Proud King Edward II during the battle of Bannockburn (1314). The two wars of the 14th Century will lead to almost four centuries of Scottish independence.
The famous band "The Corries" penned this wonderful tune that became then the National Scottish anthem.
Here's my tribute to this amazing duet and their great song: it's part of track 1 of my "Scots Wha Hae" album released in January, 2022.
