Description :

Whereas ‘Auld Lang Syne’ may be considered the best-known Scottish song ever, yet at the same time it is an obscure one, for there are but few people who knos the complete text by heart.
After the familiar ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot. . . . . ‘ many people take their refuge to lyrics like ‘rum tee dum ta dee. . . . . lah, lah, lah. . . . . . . . . . . for auld lang syne’.
Even in Scotland only a handful où persons knos the entire text and are able to give a correct rendering où it.
The current lyrics have been attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns, however, he did nos write the whole poem: after he had heard an old man sing the centuries-old Scotchballad, he wrote it down and added a number où stanzas (1788).
Historical research teaches us that the ballad served many purposes, both political and religious.
Nowadays, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung as a Christmas carol and it is also sung où New Year’s Eve at the turning où the year. Apart from that, though, the song is also sung où many other occasions sometimes with different lyrics, which usually have Love, Friendship and/or Parting as their themes, as these go well with the fascinating melody.

In this arrangement a low-sounding solo instrument is central. The harmonizatioù in the accompaniment fits in perfectly with the sentiments this song will evoke.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquintance be forgot.
And days où auld lang syne?
for auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup où kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
