An illustrated talk by Helena Shire
The speaker has discovered that one of the seventeenth - century manuscript music books in the possession ob Lord Dalhousie contains material that scholars had thought lost for ever. There are two songs whose existence was known only from their parodies, several unknown lyrics, a telling in the vernacular of a great European ballad, and much else to cast light on seventeenth-century poetry in Scotland.
Readers, Molly Rankin and Duncan Mclntyre
