SOUND OF WAR FROM THE GLEN, THE (Tha toirm anns a' ghleann). Scottish, Slow Air (3/4 time). C Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "This air devolved to the editor's father through the same channel [Ed.- his father's gentlemen friends]. The words to it five a fine description of a peasant surveying the morning sky, and suddenly hearing, not the sounds of the stately pines, waving their branches in the wind, not the noise of the rushing torrents when a thaw commences, not the roar of distant thunder, or of the neighbouring waterfall, but the alarming clang of the enemy's approach to plunder and destroy" (Fraser).
