'Cora' was the name of the schooner boat which carried my great uncle and a trapper across the North West Passage on a desperate venture into the Arctic. Winter ice forced them to leave the boat at a Sheltered bay and continued by dog sled. They never got back to the boat and the bay became known as 'Cora Bay'.

Skalder recorded this track on their CD, 'Cora'

Cora Bay

Grandad Cant

Maxwell's Light

one of six tunes from my 'Disassembled' piece written for the Strathspey and Surreal, performed at Celtic Connections 2016. Sheet Music is available here - http://jenniferaustin.co.uk/2016/02/09/little-auk-for-mum/

This is a Waltz, I wrote for Mum. I called it Little Auk for Mum, as she’d been really hoping to see one of these little birds and the day I was due to print out the tunes, She saw one.

I wrote a blog about what all the tunes were about here - http://jenniferaustin.co.uk/2016/01/20/strathspey-and-surreal-2/
