All, Here is the red hot skinny on the Peter Maxwell Davies CD. It is called A Celebration of Scotland, on the Unicorn Kanchana label, no. DKP(CD)9070. Here is the information on Lullaby for Lucy. It was for Lucy Rendall (not, as I wrote it first, Rendell) who was the first child born in Rackwick in 32 years. It is a "white note" composition, and was first performed at the St, Magnus Festival in 1981. It is an acrostic text - note the first letter of each line. Here are the words (and you can see why it would be impossible to substitute any other names) Let all plants and creatures of the valley now Unite Calling a new Young one to join the celebration Rowan and lamb and waters salt and sweet Entreat the New child to the brimming Dance of the valley, A pledge and a promise. Lonely they were long, the creatures of Rackwick, till Lucy came among them, all brightness and light. I highly recommend this CD. If you live in Orkney it is available at the tourist offices, and many other places. If you live in Canada or the US you might have to order it, or get an Orkney friend to buy one and send it. It is one of my all time favorite recordings.
