Originally published in 1966, this was the first book on this
subject to be published for over a hundred years. It covers all
facets including little-known types of Gaelic song, the bagpipes
and their music, including the esoteric subject of pibroch, the
Ceol Mor or ‘Great Music’ of the pipes. It gives a
comprehensive review of the fiddle composers and their music, and
of the Clarsach and its revival, with an example of all-but-extinct
Scottish harp music. A chapter is devoted to the music of Orkney
and Shetland and the book contains over 100 examples of music many
of which were from the author’s own collection and published here
for the first time.
