A Scottish Hymn is a chorale arrangement of a hymn composed by Charles Hutcheson, a Scottish merchant and amateur composer who lived from 1792 to 1860. This hymn was given the title “Stracathro,” a typical Scottish name after a town in the district Angus. The melody is used with various hymn texts in the Scottish church.

Als Grundlage dieses Werkes diente die wunderschöne Psalmvertonung des schottischen Händlers und Laienkomponisten Charles Hutcheson aus dem Jahre 1832. Die Hymne, die den typisch schottischen Namen Stracathro trägt, besteht aus einem Choral, der, von einem Intermezzo unterbrochen, in drei Varianten erklingt, um dann in einem jubilierenden Fortissimo zu enden. Sehr wirkungsvoll!

This plaintive Scottish tune was used extensively by Michael Nyman in his score for Jane Campion's film, The Piano. This arrangement offers young players an entrée into the rich breadth of Scottish folk music with a lilting dotted melody that is fun to play. With pizzicato and staccato accompaniments, this lyrical melody is passed around to every section of the orchestra. The lyrics tell of winter’s end giving way to bright flowers of spring, which the singer compares to his darling loved one. While playable in first position, more advanced students may practice playing in higher positions with ringing vibrato.
