John Blackwood McEwen was a composer from the Scottish borderlands. He
led the Royal Academy in London during the 1920s early 1930s, and left
the world a musical legacy including his rich "Borderland Ballads" – richly
orchestrated works, evocative of the rugged landscape of his homeland.
This morning we’ll hear "Where the Wild Thyme Blows".
