Plaid and haggis, set to music
|
This review first appeared in the November 3, 1995 issue of the North County Blade-Citizen (now North County Times).
If you have no need for the high tech of modern music – or if you're seeking the ambience of lying atop a heathered brae – the Rowallan Consort is just the music to bring rose to your cheeks and cheer to your heart.
The consort produces the sometimes gentle, sometimes rugged sounds of early Scotland, a land of weathered scapes and people. The lute, harp and vocals of the consort members combine for a result that is traditional yet easy to appreciate. The acoustic simplicity and the gentle melodies make for a nice contrast with the complex rhythms of the Gaels.
