"A Scottish Fantasy" by MacPhail Guitar Quartet
Xavier is in a wonderful quartet at MacPhail and they have performed this piece several times now. I love this and am capable of listening to it another 100 times.
Xavier put this video on Youtube with the following commentary:
MacPhail Guitar Quartet plays Scottish Fantasy by David Crittenden. Players from left to right: Henry Johnston (12), Xavier Jara (15), Luke Banchy (15), Austin Wahl (16). Coached by Alan Johnston. Taped in Antonello Hall at MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis, MN.
A Scottish Fantasy, is based on several Scottish folk melodies. Some include: Skye boat song, Neil Gow's Lament for the Death of His Second Wife, and more. This was our first performance of the piece. Sorry about the camera quality. I hope you enjoy it.
David Crittenden has a Youtube page were he performs many of his other great compositions. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/rootandsky
