An old song from the British isles, but we're pretty sure the fox was Scottish.

Seems that even 200 years ago, parents and sons were butting heads.

 From our new Christmas album, Hearts in the Highlands. Child in the Manger: Mary MacDonald authored one of the few Christmas songs written in Gaelic; Lachlan MacBean translated it to English around 1888. The complexity of a traditional Scottish tune brightens this piece. 

Literally translating as "Old Long Since", Robert Burns' 1788 song contrasts childhood memories and present cares, and bids us hold both dear. We use an alternate tune setting to the one most often used, simply because we like it better. #celticmusic #robertburns #newyear2021.
