Melodies From The Gaelic And Original Poems: With Notes On The Superstitions Of The Highlanders, Etc. is a book written by Donald Macpherson and originally published in 1824. The book is a collection of Gaelic melodies and original poems, accompanied by notes on the superstitions of the Highlanders. The book is divided into two sections: the first section contains traditional Gaelic melodies, while the second section contains original poems written by Macpherson. The melodies are arranged for voice and piano, and the lyrics are presented in both Gaelic and English. In addition to the music, the book also contains extensive notes on the superstitions and beliefs of the Highlanders, including their beliefs about fairies, ghosts, and witches. Macpherson draws on his own experiences growing up in the Scottish Highlands to provide insight into these beliefs and their cultural significance. Overall, Melodies From The Gaelic And Original Poems: With Notes On The Superstitions Of The Highlanders, Etc. is a unique and valuable resource for anyone interested in traditional Scottish music and folklore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
