[小提琴-人声] I'm A-Doun For Lack O' Johnnie - 陈美作曲改编演唱演奏



I'm o doun, doun, doun
I'm a doun for lack o'Johnnie
Gine Johnnie kent I was ne weel
I'm sure he would come to me
But o gin he's forsaken me
Och hone what will come o' me

这是陈美第一次作曲,确切地说是从一首古老的苏格兰叙事曲(old Scottish ballad )改编而来,同样Brunch的小提琴协奏曲Scottish Fantasy的第三乐章也是根据这首苏格兰叙事曲改编的;另外也是陈美参与她自己的曲子声部演唱, 这首曲子让陈美跻身于British Top 40, 获得巨大的商业成功 ,她演奏的另一首 "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor". (巴赫)也名列British Top 40( 不知是哪一年)。

This is Vanessa-Mae’s own arrangement, which is based on the same old Scottish ballad as the third movement of Bruch’s "Scottish Fantasy. This is the same song as on CLASSICAL ALBUM 1, and it is also on STORM; all three are identical.
 
The song is really three different songs blended together: an opening vocals, a violin solo, and an African rhythm on drums with a few words of vocals plus a few chords of electric guitar. The opening part is Vanessa-Mae singing an old Scottish ballad, with the words in old Celtic-English. At the end of this (about a minute), the African song starts to blend in with a few words of male voices singing an African language, then the drums. The drums continue in the background through the rest of the piece. I'm not sure if the drums are electronic or real. The electric guitar becomes more prominent later in the song -- is this the first use of electric guitar in classical music, or is it proof that this isn't classical music? The main song is a violin solo by Vanessa-Mae, which has some similarities to the violin part of the 3rd Movement of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. The song is about a Scottish girl longing for her lover who is far away; so the violin part is the Scottish girl and the drums in the distance symbolizes her lover. It's an interesting piece.
 
The song is interesting for three other reasons, also. First, it is Vanessa-Mae's debut as a singer; she sings a lot more on STORM and that album has two entire songs which are her vocals. Also, the song is her second-biggest commercial hit and one of only two songs that reached the British Top 40. (The other being her fusion version of "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor".) Another interesting thing about this song is that it is the first piece which has composition credits solely to Vanessa-Mae.
