Description
This continues a series of arrangements for various instruments with piano accompaniment
of my Folksong Snapshots
This sixth piece - The Scottish banana - is an invented folk song (ie my own rather than traditional)
about a banana just before it is dunked into boiling oil
to make banana fritters in the Scottish fashion.
The ornamental acacciaturas, bagpipe like drones and Scottish Snaps all lend to the atmosphere.
This is the sixth of seven pieces for the same combinations of instruments
for each of my "Folksong Snapshots"
The complete series comprises:
1. Gilderoy
2. Bobby Shaftoe
3. David of the White Rock
4. Hunting the Hare
5. I have a bonnet
6. The Scottish banana
7. A Hoe-Down in The Ash Grove
