Adding New Scottish Music to Library Stock

An interesting pile is growing in the library office - music from Scotland, both traditional and modern classical.  

We have a new book of tunes by Marie Fielding, and another by Judi Nicolson.  Add to that The Tom Richardson Collection, John Cowan's The Music of a Galloway Fiddle Player, Traditional Folk Reels arranged for wind ensemble by William McConnell, Frank and Ronald Jamieson's Vidlin Voe, Leveneep Head, and Muckle Ayre (Shetland music) ... 

Not to mention John Wallace's Quiraing for solo clarinet, and Chosen Vale for three trumpets.  John was Principal of The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland until just a year ago.

You can always see what's new in the Whittaker Library by clicking on the link that you'll find on the catalogue homepage.  Click to see New Additions to the Catalogue!

(Now, shall we have haggis or a wee dram to accompany it?)
