about

2. 5/4 Waltzes: Port William (T.Cummings) | Apple Knoll (J.McLane)

The 'ground', or theme, of the Scottish pibroch, 'The Old Woman's Lullaby' [Cronan na Caillich sa Bheinn Bhric], serves as the basis for the first part of 'Port William' (named for the fictional town in many of Wendell Berry's writings). It took only two glasses of pinot noir to transform the ancient pibroch into a contemporary 5/4 waltz. One of the McLane family’s favorite excursions is to a scenic hilltop orchard near South Strafford, Vermont; and so it is that 'Apple Knoll' was written for Annemieke McLane.
