Musica Scotica is a new series of scholarly editions of Early Scottish Music, published under the general editorship of Dr. Kenneth Elliott.

Volume II is the first in a series that attempts to put ‘Scots Songs’ in a true historical context. It contains part songs arranged according to contemporary practice for solo voice and lute accompaniment. All of these are provided with lute tablature and keyboard transcriptions, many with ‘divisions’.

29 songs with lute, plus six original 4-part versions, plus 24 fragments.
