  Hamish MacCunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Miss Margaret Thallon herself contacted the Glasgow Art Galleries in 1945 and she identified the girl in the picture as herself, the dark-haired youth as Hamish MacCunn and the second gentleman as Alec Watt who was a neighbour and close friend of the Petties and sat for other paintings too.
Hamish MacCunn and his compatriots had something significant to say through their music and it is still worthy of the listener s attention today.
MacCunn had written passionately about the formation of a Scottish College of Music in the Dunedin Magazine (May 1913) and it was this journal which prompted him to write to Learmont Drysdale s sister on 7 January 1916, shortly before his death.

 Hamish MacCunn
Hamish MacCunn was born in Greenock in 1868, the same year as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and another famous Scott - Scott Joplin, the American creator of ragtime.
Young Hamish was the son of a wealthy shipowner and merchant, and his talent revealed itself early - although this did not stop him from indulging in the sailing and fishing that might be expected of a well-to-do lad born on the Clyde.
In later years, MacCunn acquired a formidable reputation as a conductor in the opera house, and he was equally at home in Wagner and operetta.

 The Scottish Romantics: MacCunn, McEwen, Mackenzie Piano Pieces Murray McLachlan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Only MacCunn’s Six Scottish Dances, which are hugely enjoyable, robust and extremely well written for the piano have a Scottish flavour.
The other piece of MacCunn’s is a Valse which is a slow improvisatory piece with a meandering melodic line and a curious chromaticism.
Hamish MacCunn (pictured so elegantly in Pettie's famous painting "Two Strings to her Bow) will certainly be familiar for his stirring overture Land of the Mountain and the Flood.

 A TWENTY-FIFTH GARLAND OF BRITISH LIGHT MUSIC COMPOSERS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
We move on to consider the Scotsman Hamish MacCunn (1868-1916), trained at the RCM (he was later a professor at the RAM where he taught Liza Lehmann): composer, conductor and teacher.
MacCunn's songs embrace settings of Shelley and Burns to ballads, arrangements of Scots traditional songs and even music hall numbers like Are Ye Comin' Mr Atkins?, which was probably a recruiting song for the Boer War, perhaps a kind of companion piece to Sullivan's The Absent Minded Beggar.
As a conductor MacCunn was much involved in lighter theatre repertoire, especially in the first decade of the present century.

 Alexander Mackenzie: Scottish Composer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Hamish MacCunn (1868-1916) is today remembered primarily for his stirringly-effective overture "Land of the Mountain and the Flood"; but it would be wrong to dismiss him as a "one-work wonder", as his substantial output includes four operas, cantatas, orchestral music and songs.
MacCunn was born in Greenock and studied under Parry at the Royal College of Music.
The six movements are direct and straightforward, and open a welcome niche in the classical repertory for the kind of Celtic nostalgia which later composers, notably Percy Grainger and Edward MacDowell, were to investigate further.

 MacCunn Collection
The collection of manuscript and published works in Glasgow was donated to the University by MacCunn’s widow in 1951.
The Library holds the published full score of probably the only work by which he is well-known today, the overture Land of the mountain and the flood.
Some 50-odd letters sent by Hamish MacCunn to Janey Drysdale, sister of the composer Learmont Drysdale, are to be found in the Farmer Collection.

 Sae Fresh and Fair - Scottish romantic choral songs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
To describe the partsongs as Scottish may be slightly anachronistic, in that most of the composers represented were writing for the English musical market, by virtue of their positions of employment.
Principal of the Royal Academy of Music in London from 1888, Alexander MacKenzie was an exact contemporary of C H H Parry, himself Director of the Royal College of Music, where Hamish MacCunn was a member of his staff.
It is therefore not surprising that we can detect resonances of Parry in both The Evening Star and Madrigal suggesting, rather, that this is a shared, late 19th century British style.

 Hamish MacCunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Composer conductor Hamish MacCunn studied at the Royal College of Music under Sir Hubert Parry, then from 1888 to 1894 served as professor of harmony at the Royal Academy of Music.
He conducted for the Carl Rosa Opera Company and for Thomas Beecham's company before joining the D'Oyly Carte organization at the Savoy, where he was musical director for the original productions of Hood and German's Merrie England and A Princess of Kensington (April 1902-May 1905).
After the tour, MacCunn (along with many performers from the Company) left the D'Oyly Carte organization and, in December 1903, migrated to the Adelphi (and, later, the Lyric) where he conducted The Earl and the Girl.

 Collection: The Land of Mountain and Flood: Classical CD Reviews-Feb 2000 Music on the Web(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This lively concert kicks off with MacCunn’s The Land of Mountain and Flood, probably the best-known and best-loved of all the pieces on this disc.
Amazingly, this self-assured composition was penned when the composer was only nineteen.
Over its two opening movements, By the Burnside and By the Loch, this composition is quieter and sweetly nostalgic, while Harvest Dance is an unlikely marriage of the main theme of the second movement of Schubert’s Great C Major Symphony and Charlie is My Darling!
