Tim Macdonald, the reigning national champion Scottish fiddler, is our guest musician this Sunday at Incarnation Church. He offers a set of \u201cdivisions\u201d upon Greensleeves, as well as traditional pibroch (piobaireachd) and more. Tim won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Open in September.\u00a0Tim Macdonald has especially caught the attention of the fiddling world because of his performances on a gut-strung historical Baroque-era instrument. Many of the classics of the Scottish traditional repertoire do in fact originate from before the mid-18th Century. Plus, Tim\u2019s interest in this genre stems from not only the Macdonald family heritage but also his interest in Baroque performance practice. He is both a violinist and a harpsichordist. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/www.incarnationchurchpgh.org\/music-clan-macdonald\/<\/p>\n
