Trios for 3 Cellos: An Arrangement of The Jamie Suite for 3 Cellos

By Anna Castiglioni, Evelyn Tiffany Castiglioni, Prudence McDaniel

About the piece: "The Jamie Suite" consists of three tunes composed or collected by the Scottish composer James Oswald (1710-1769). It opens with a beautiful air, "There Are Few Good Fellows When Jamie's Awa'," from Oswald's The Curious Collection of Scots Tunes (1740). Jamie of the title may refer to the deposed King James II of England and Ireland (VII of Scotland) or his son James Stuart, who were focal figures in Jacobite uprisings between 1688 and 1746 that attempted to restore the Stuarts to the throne. Robert Burns used the melody 100 years later for an equally beautiful song, "There Will Never Be Peace Till Jamie Comes Hame." The second tune is "Jamie Come Try Me," from Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, which was also used by Burns for a lovely song by the same name. The third tune is a spritely jig, "O'er the Water to Charlie, " from the Caledonian Pocket Companion. The title refers to Bonnie Prince Charlie, grandson of James II, known as the Young Pretender for his aspirations to reclaim the throne for the House of Stuart. The piece was submitted to Women in Music-Columbus Call for Scores and selected from over 100 submissions. It was debuted in the Huntington Recital Hall, Capital University, on May 1, 2016.
