The lyrics for "Will ye go, lassie, go?" are by the Scottish poet Robert Tannahill, and come from his poem "The Braes o' Balquhither". They were set to music by Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith, and published in 1824 in The Scottish Minstrel. The tune, thought to be a Scottish/Irish folk song, has morphed over time with many masterful interpretations. This 2023 setting is arranged for 4-part SATB ensemble, to be performed a cappella. This tender "courting song" is an invitation to go pull wild mountain thyme' that grows around the blooming heather' as the summer approaches. Performance time: 3:15.
