Greetings

I'm thinking about compiling a programme with Scottisch music, but
have been having a hard time pinning down scores. Is anyone aware of
a contemporary edition of, say, the Carver Choirbook or the Wode
partbooks?

Grateful for any hints, as always.

cordially

Joachim

Hi Sig

There is indeed a volume (XV, actually) devoted to Scottish music, but
the more the merrier, I'd say.

Hi, Joachim. I don't know about those specific books, but Musica
Brittanica has a volume on "Music of Scotland" that we've found
useful in the past. Some very nice things in it.

London Pro Musica has a volume of Scottish music as well.

And I believe the Italian subscription music site has some as well:

http://www.musicascotica.org.uk/ for the Carver stuff.

Somebody locally has scheduled a performance based around the Wode
material in the next few weeks - I wouldn't have thought there was
enough of it, but who knows.
