Intended for use at University ceremonial occasions in the new millennium, the fanfare takes as its starting point the five notes that can be played on the Caprington (pronounced Cayprington) horn, `the oldest musical instrument in Scotland' (John Purser, Scotland's Music, Edinburgh: 1992) (believed to be mediaeval or possibly even Roman), and subjects these notes to a series of variations or `doubles', to use the old musical term.
A version for organ was first performed by Giles Brightwell, the University organist, on 21 June 2001 at `Commemoration Day', the annual honorary degree ceremony for the University, at which Sally Beamish was the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Music (DMus) for her services to musical life in Scotland.
