Hebridean Songs
Not only her own skill and industry have placed Mrs. Kerinedy-Fraser in the highest place among British folksong collectors-she has had the great advantage of specialising in melodies which Ernest Newman has described as being "as purely perfect as any melody could be." These are the Hebridean songs, some of which Nettie Mackay will sing from 2YA at 8.42 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10. To quote Newman again: "Schubert and Hugo Wolf ;would have knelt and kissed the hands of the men who conceived them . . . Schubert himself ever wrote a more peffectly satisfying or more haunting melody than the " Seagull of the Land-Under-Waves." This song is the last of Nettie Mackay’s group of five Hebridean songs. '
