Musical heritage

Clan Jack March

The Clan Jack March was composed by Lester Clarke in 2009 and based on the name "Clan Jack". In his handwritten note, Lester explained how the musical notes A and C were placed in the same positions as the letters in the name, with other notes used to build the tune. The music was played to David A. Jack in Timaru, New Zealand, by Harry Washington on pipes. Although it was not a formal gathering performance, it forms part of Clan Jack's cultural and musical heritage and is preserved here so it is not lost again.
