In a flash, it has actually been three months since I last posted music. Aside from laziness, there are mainly two reasons: first, my headphones broke, which turned my MP3 player into little more than a USB drive, and I’ve been too lazy to get the headphones repaired or buy a new pair, so my time spent listening to music has been severely reduced. The other reason is that recently, some of the music I wanted to post couldn’t be found online with a link. Now I’ve commandeered GooglePages to upload things myself, and I’ll try posting a piece, in welcome back to Unic.

Still classical music with violin and harp, but this time it is an ancient Celtic tune.

Celtic music is fairly common these days, though it is mostly classified as New Age; as for restoring music from several hundred years ago, that probably belongs to Jordi Savall alone. The music comes from Verycd: http://verycd.com/topics/2749066/

As usual, I’m posting the first track on the album. Also included is a later Scottish dance tune:

Lady Mary Hay’s Scots Measure  [Scottish Dance]
