Logie o’Buchan is a well known North East of Scotland Ballad composed around 1736 by George Halket a well known Jacobite.
The song has been covered and recorded by many folk singers and musicians from all over the world. The Logie mentioned is situated in Crimond although there are many places called Logie in the North East.
The hero of the song was James Robertson who was the gardener at the Mansion of Logie in Crimond. It was also in Crimond where Jessie Seymour Irvine composed the melody to Psalm 23, The Lord’s My Shepherd, which is now known all over the world as Crimond. Crimond is also where as a child I spent many a happy summer holiday as my granda and granny ran the local shop and post office.
This arrangement for trumpet/cornet and piano takes the form of an air and variations.

Duration 2.54 Difficulty - moderately difficult. Note range two octaves - C to top C.
The Lullaby & Vivace for Ben was composed to commemorate the birth of my grandson, Ben Andrew Michael Baxter, on the 28th May 2017. The piece starts with a gentle unaccompanied lullaby played on the trumpet. When the lullaby is repeated the piano enters with a delicate accompaniment in the high register giving the impression of a child’s music box. The Vivace in 7/8 is based on the notes of the lullaby. There follows a muted section with the trumpet playing soft staccato octave leaps before a recapitulation of the Vivace theme leads to a short coda which brings the piece to a close.
