Added by magataganm, 02 Oct 2015 'Dumbarton's Drums' is the name of an old Scottish dance tune with its own country dance, a 'longways reel-time dance for three couples'. A version of that tune, 'a Scottish Measure', was printed in 1690. And 'Dumbarton's Drums' is the name of the Regimental Quick March of the Royal Scots. Their name for the tune recalls the last colonel of their ancestor regiment when it was serving in France. He died in 1692. Although this work was originally written for Folk Instruments, I created this arrangement for Viola & Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp. |
