Scottish Fantasy
The Scottish Fantasy in E-flat major, op. 46, is a composition for violin and orchestra by Max Bruch. Completed in 1880, it was dedicated to the virtuoso violinist Pablo de Sarasate. It is a fantasy on Scottish folk melodies and includes a sprightly arrangement of "Hey Tuttie Tatie", which was also the tune to which lyrics by Robert Burns were set in the patriotic anthem "Scots Wha Hae". In paying homage to Scottish tradition, Bruch's composition gives a prominent place to the harp in the instrumental accompaniment to the violin. The Scottish Fantasy is one of the several signature pieces by Bruch which are still widely heard today, along with the first violin concerto and the Kol Nidre for cello and orchestra.
