When morning, in russet and saffron clad

An inspirational morning hymn. Unison, piano accompaniment.

The text is by GRD McLean, and is in the style of Carmina Gadelica, a compendium of prayers, hymns and other material gathered in the Gaelic-speaking regions of Scotland between 1860 and 1909.

The tune is named Craig Leith, which is a hill summit in the Ochil Hills, dominating the Clackmannanshire town of Alva.

This setting is suitable for performance by a solo voice or a group of voices.
