Musica Scotica Vol III: Chamber Music of Eighteenth-Century Scotland

Musica Scotica is a series of scholarly editions of Early Scottish Music, published under the general editorship of Dr Kenneth Elliott. Volume III contains solo sonatas, trio sonatas and Scots-tune settings by William McGibbon, Alexander Munro, Charles McLean, James Oswald, Robert Bremner, the Earl of Kelly and others. The music is for one or two violins - with flute, recorder and oboe alternatives - along with cello and harpsichord or organ accompaniments. Of the 27 chamber works in this volume, 25 are presented here in modern editions for the first time.
