Swan LK243 | Catriona McKay

Taken from Jubilee 09 Sept 2015 @ UCC Theatre Composed by: Catriona McKay Arranged by: Mike Baker Description: “I’ve took part on the little ship in 1999, and sailing around Britain, and I wrote this tune when we were leaving southern port of Shetland. We were sitting on deck, and for me playing the harp through the back of the harp is almost felt like the back of the boat, and for me sitting on the deck of the boat is almost like the boat became just like an extra soundboard for the harp.” ~Catriona McKay, 2007 Named after a training vessel Swan LK243 built in 1900, this beautiful melody was composed by Scottish harpist, Catriona McKay, in 1999 as she and her friends were sailing around Britain. The work is now a famous harp piece played by harpists worldwide and has been transcribed for 4 guitars by Mike Baker, member of one of Britain’s leading chamber music group, ______________________________________ Check out our latest videos:    / nusguitarensemble   Get in touch with us!
