The suite has three movements : 01. Pesante ( Arnoldesque) 02. Lento e Teneramente 03. Sensato
This short suite is loosely based on fiddle tunes by the famous Scots fiddler Neil Gow, from a collection published in 1830 and "respectfully dedicated to the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Royal Caledonian Hunt". The tunes used are "Mrs. Fleming of Moness", "Lamentation for Jas Moray Esq of Abercarney" and "Simon Brodie".
