Ya Laure

This is a recorder-y cover of one of my favourite ever songs, penned originally by Jess Arrowsmith and arranged in the most beautiful way by one of my favourite ever bands, Lady Maisery. It just lacked some recorders - but then again I think everything could use more recorders!  
The song is of a mother who wonders if her once so peaceful, now constantly screaming baby has been replaced with a fairy changeling. I'm sure some parents can relate to that feeling – I sure can! It would have been a convenient explanation, in olden times before we knew about colics or early child development. 
Anway, here it is, imperfectly sung, but with feeling. I remember well the nights (they were, thankfully, scarce) when I was trying to settle a screaming baby, walking around our house with the infant in my arms, rocking and rocking…

Arrangement by Lady Maisery (Hazel Askew, Hannah James & Rowan Rheingans)

The Changeling's Lullaby

A Scottish retreat march in 9/8 time, penned by Pipe Major William Laurie (1881- 1916) of the 8th Argyllshire Batallion. He wrote this pipe tune in commemoration of the terrible WWI battle, in which he fought, and sadly died not long after that from injuries suffered in the trenches.
A retreat march is often played at the end of the military day, calling in the guards and signifying safety in the camp. Although it's very impressive when played by a full pipe band, I first learnt this march as a harp tune (from one of Rachel Hair's fabulous Harp at Home workshops!) and thought that it would work just as well on my beloved recorders, so I wrote an arrangement for alto and tenor recorder.
