Robert Burns's songs were, in their author's eyes, the crown to his
achievement as a poet. After years of study and investigation, many
hours spent listening to old airs, as he recalled the living, daily
song-life of the people of Scotland, and through the creation of
some of the finest lyric poetry of the British Isles, Burns's
success is beyond doubt. Yet, until this volume, there has been no
complete edition of his songs.
Donald Low, the leading expert on Burns's songs, brings together
in chronological sequence, the words and tunes of all the known
songs, providing a full critical introduction and detailed notes.
An appendix by Peter Davidson discusses musical arrangements.
The book contains more than 300 songs and their music, from
Burns's first known composition to the songs supplied for James
Johnson's "Scots Musical Museum," and George Thompson's "Select
Collection," to Burns's bawdy songs secretly published as "The
Merry Muses of Caledonia,"
This comprehensive critical edition can only enhance Burns's
reputation as a supreme lyric poet. It will be important reading
for those interested in Robert Burns and his age, lovers of the
traditional music of Scotland, and students of song, lyric, and
early European Romanticism.
