Composed by Scottish air attributed to Anne Campbelle MacLeod. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. A Cappella,Celtic,Film/TV,Folk,Irish. 7 pages. Scott S. Stewart #697408. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1093336).“Sing me a Song of a Lad who is Gone”, text by Robert Louis Stevenson, to a tune attributed to Anne Campbelle MacLeod who heard boatmen break into “a Gaelic iorram (or rowing song)” while on a trip to the Isle of Skye. MacLeod’s tune evolved into today’s “The Skye Boat Song”, and has since morphed into the Theme Song for the popular television series – Outlander. MacLeod’s melody originally had lyrics by Sir Harold Edwin Boulton (1859-1935) published in 1884. Stevenson disliked the sentimentality of Boulton’s words so much he composed his own in 1892. This arrangement is scored for a 4-part SATB ensemble to be performed a cappella. Performance time: 3:05+.
