Auld Lang Syne

"Auld Lang Syne" is a popular song written by Robert Burns, a Scottish poet. This collection of 11 recordings, brought to you by LibriVox volunteers, features different interpretations of the song. The project was dedicated to Gung Haggis Fat Choy, a cultural event that originated in Vancouver, Canada. It celebrates the unique coincidence of Robert Burns Day and the Chinese New Year, which occurred on January 25th, 2009. This day marked the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth and also coincided with the eve of Chinese New Year. The song itself is a reflection on old times and cherished memories, making it a fitting choice for these dual celebrations.
