Ye Banks and Braes is an old Scottish Air with a text by poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) inspired by the story of Margaret (Peggy) Kennedy (1766–1795), who was courted and then abandoned by Andrew McDouall, the son of a wealthy family and sometime Member of Parliament for Wigtonshire, Scotland. Stuart Calvert’s lilting arrangement and rich choral scoring are supported by an artful piano accompaniment. Perfect for concert and festival.
