The rich musical heritage of Scotland consists largely of music that was handed down from one generation to another by oral traditions. Beginning in the 17th century, musicologists and composers began to collect, arrange and publish hundreds of these traditional ballads and folksongs. This music was immensely popular; so much so that composers including Haydn and Beethoven wrote – and sold – their own arrangements of Scottish folk songs. We look forward to presenting some of our favorite pieces of this tradition alongside works by Scottish composers written for more formal entertainment.
