Back to Mr. Charles Graham’s Welcome Home
MR. CHARLES GRAHAM’S WELCOME HOME. Scottish, Slow Air (6/8 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by William Gow (1751-1791), eldest son of Perthshire fiddler-composer Niel Gow, and leader of the Edinburgh Assembly Orchestra until his death. The melody was employed by poet Robert Burns for his song “Out over the Forth &c.” in the Scots Musical Museum (vol. V, song 421, p. 434, 1787). It begins:
Out over the Forth, I look to the North,
But what is the North and its Highlands to me;
The South nor the East, gie ease to my breast,
The far foreign land, or the wide rolling sea.
