The Poem on which this Cantata is founded relates the battle of the Pass of Killiecrankie, and the death of the Scottish Leader. The barbaric excitement of this historic fight is vividly suggested in the score, and the impassioned ardour of the soldiers finds expression in strenuous themes.
After an opening solo of declamatory character, the chorus carries on the narrative to its close.
