Seventy Scottish Songs

A sterling collection of Scottish songs, including ballads and love songs of great lyrical beauty, colorful chants of stirring patriotic fervor, songs that commemorate special moments in history and legend, and others that touchingly note the commonplace charms of everyday life. Among them: Annie Laurie, Loch Lomond, The Campbells Are Coming, Robin Adair and Comin' Thro' the Rye. Complete lyrics plus full piano accompaniments.

Helen Hopekirk (1856-1945) was a Scottish-American pianist and composer who taught at the New England Conservatory. She studied in Scotland, Germany, and Austria and performed throughout Europe and United States.
