The source of Scottish song is the Scottish heart, and in fashioning song and story from the strings of the heart, the Scottish poet and musician find sources of endless possibility. To help us to laugh at ourselves in our daily tasks, to make us articulate in moments of emotion, to reveal to us the beauties of our countryside, are but a few of these endless sources.
To know something of these, is to know something of Scotland and in the songs which follow, we offer you just a glimpse, merely an introduction, and hope that you will seek for many more.
The Glasgow Phoenix Choir now in its 20th year, is a well established Scottish Choir, displaying the highest virtues of ensemble singing. In this new series of gramophone records they present the heritage of Scottish song, both sacred and secular, which links in one fellowship all who love Scotland and who have come to cherish her ideals and her hopes.

The reputation of the Glasgow Phoenix Choir, now in its 15th year, is well established, and with the issue of “Everyone Sang” – their seventh L.P. record -the public appeal of the Choir will be still further enhanced. The Phoenix ranges widely in its choice of music and in all its programmes has included, as a special feature, some of the lovely gems of folk song.
A choir, of course, is more than a group of singing enthusiasts. It is a family in the largest and best sense, displaying the ties of friendship and loyalty, sympathy in troubled times and happiness and laughter for the social occasions.
The Phoenix is perhaps a travelling family, maintaining annual concerts in large cities like London, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, etc., and it is on these journeys that this friendly spirit is at its closest and best. For the Phoenix members, singing is a vital part of life itself, and it is this vital urge which emerges in all their singing and which, of course, has been responsible for winning many premier singing awards, such as at Cork International Festival and the B.B.C. International Competition.
In recent years, the Choir has become known in West Germany and has just completed a second very successful tour, which extended from Remscheid, south to Heidelberg, providing the singers with the opportunity of being not only ambassadors in song, but, as was said by the British Consul in Dusseldorf after one of the concerts: “Ambassadors for all that is good and sincere in the Scottish way of life”.
