about

This piece describes a battle in the story of Oscar and Malvina. It starts with a highland march, followed by the march into battle. A short depiction of the battle follows, and then a lament which represents the Groans of the Wounded or the chief’s death. The army then marches in retreat to conclude the piece. O’Farrell included the Highland March in Oscar and Malvina in Vol 1, but it and the other three main pieces in the track are also in Aird’s Vol 4, pages 41-42, as part of Six tunes taken from Oscar and Malvina. In fact, the battle and retreat marches, the lament, and the snippets of the battle, were all taken from a much lengthier piece titled simply A Highland Battle, published (and likely composed) by James Oswald in his second volume, pg 68. The highland march as well is much older, having also been published by Oswald where it was named for a General Leslie of the 1600s.
