Description
When I wrote this, I had just finished teaching Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice to my twelfth grade AP Lit students and Victorian social structure was fresh in my mind; I wrote this song in my classroom during my lunch break. I wanted to incorporate a Celtic melody and feel both because of my Scottish ancestry and because of the influence of Celtic music on traditional American folk music, particularly in the Blue Ridge.
