The 101 Strings Orchestra is an orchestra composed of 124 stringed instruments. (I'm sure there must be a story there, but I don't know what it is.) The music they created was described as easy-listening symphonic music, and that is spot-on. Bagpipes do not predominate in the music, only appearing in a couple of the tracks. The music is predominantly created by stringed instruments, but other instruments round out the music.Overall, I found this to be pretty darn good music. It's quiet and relaxing, but with a definite Scottish flare. I preferred Sky Boat Song and Scotland The Brave the best of all of the tracks, but they are all good. I did enjoy this easy to listen to album.
