Description

Explore the rich heritage of Scottish sound with this foundational text from Routledge. Originally published in 1966, this work stands as a landmark study, being the first book on this subject released in over a hundred years. It provides a deep look into the diverse musical landscape of Scotland, from the little-known types of Gaelic song to the specialized traditions of the bagpipes. Readers can study the esoteric subject of pibroch, also known as Ceol Mor or the Great Music of the pipes. The book also offers a wide-ranging review of fiddle composers and their music, alongside an examination of the Clarsach and its revival. You will find rare examples of all-but-extinct Scottish harp music and dedicated sections covering the unique musical traditions of Orkney and Shetland. With over 100 musical examples included, this book serves as a vital resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of Scottish national music.
