Devised 24th February, 2019 following a request from Chris Ronald for a not unreasonably difficult fugue in Strathspey time.
I would suggest ”Lochiel’s awa’ to France” by Niel Gow as the lead tune, but all recordings I know are 8 by 48. So for recorded music I would would use ”The Nether Bow Has Vanished” (4 × 48 recording) by Bobby Crowe, or ”Lucy of Lammermoor” by Peter White. Since all of these are on vinyl, for a CD recording, perhaps ”The Ellwyn Stathspey” by Ian Homes in the Highlander Series.
Personally, I would use Lochiel and edit the music. The music needs strong 2 bar phrases
