Robert Burns-Auld Lang Syne

Title: Robert Burns-Auld Lang Syne
Description: Robert Burns (1759-1796): Scottish poet.

In addition to poet, Burns found, edited, improved, and rewrote songs. It is by his songs that he is best known, and it is his songs that have carried his reputation round the world.

He never claimed “Auld Lang Syne,” which he described simply as an old fragment he had discovered, but the song we have is almost certainly his, though the chorus and probably the first stanza are old. (Burns wrote it for a simple and moving old air that is not the tune to which it is now sung, as George Thomson set it to another tune.)
