Devoted to the traditional airs of pure Scottish style, this programme presentes the distinctively melodic and rhythmic characteristics which indentify the mysterious charm of this music.
Airs for dancing, songs and grounds, everyday music intended, according to circumstances, for domestic entertainment, concert or ballroom dancing, comes from publications of the eighteenth century from Balcares Ms. to collections by James Oswald and Neil Gow, instigator of the modern repertoire, this music will appeal as much to lovers of early music as to those of traditional nature.
