The work is now firmly established in the contemporary orchestral repertoire worldwide and championed by leading conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsobel Gowdie, from Nairn, Scotland, was publically executed in 1662 amid scenes of hysterical fright and sadism, one of 4,500 who perished during the Scottish Reformation because their contemporaries thought they were witches. The composer remarks, \"Initially I was drawn by the dramatic and programmatic potential of this insane and terrible story but the work soon developed a far more emotional core as I attempted to draw together various strands in a single, complicated act of contrition. On behalf of the Scottish people the work craves absolution and offers Isobel Gowdie the mercy and humanity that was denied her in the last days of her life. To do this I have tried to capture the soul of Scotland in music, and the outer sections contain a multitude of chants, songs and litanies (real and imagined) coming together in a reflective outpouring – a prayer for the murdered woman. This work is the Requiem that Isobel Gowdie never had.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42452414333007,"sku":"HPS1800","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/0847689d2397fc5581e844441743518e.jpg?v=1752415386"},{"product_id":"macmillan-the-confession-of-isobel-gowdie-boosey-1","title":"MacMillan: The Confession of Isobel Gowdie","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/james-macmillan\"\u003eJames MacMillan (1959-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrchestra\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/macmillan-the-confession-of-isobel-gowdie-1990\"\u003eThe Confession of Isobel Gowdie (1990)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790060113376\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.0\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 102\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42452416102479,"sku":"M060113376","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/b1eea6620cd6701eee7da429e2bbaafa.jpg?v=1752425338"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/collections\/macmillan-the-confession-of-isobel-gowdie-1990.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
