Robin with the Bagpipe
Ashby parva, White House Tune Books N°6 2001 4° 21 x 29 beige paperback brochure 36 pp., 70 tunes The English Bagpipe and its Music ; Compiled by Pete STEWART; notes, bibliography;
Pete Stewart's original groundbreaking work on the Bagpipe in England. Essential reading for all those interested in English bagpipe history. He has been playing traditional dance music for over forty years and has been piping for thirty of them. The fruits of his playing and researching English piping are contained in this long awaited collection. The book combines literary descriptions, pictorial and sculptural representations and an historical commentary with 70 tunes from across eight centuries, many unavailable in print elsewhere, to present a vivid picture of a more or less forgotten aspect of English musical life, as well as offering a unique repertoire to today’s players. This publication is an important contribution to the reclamation of piping traditions and should be in every piper’s instrument case. “Bagpipes were a feature of the English scene for many centuries and Pete Stewart has done a grand job of collecting, editing and playing the music of this neglected tradition.” (Roderick Cannon, author of ‘The Highland Bagpipe and its Music” and “A Bibliography of Bagpipe Music”) ;

THREE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTIONS
Pencaitland, Hornpipe Music 2007 4° 21 x 29,7 illustrated light brown paperback brochure IV-119 pp. (1-119) Early 18th century Dance Music for those that play Publick; 252 tunes ; II appendix, bibliography, notes, index to the 145 tunes ;
The period between the last decades of the 17th century and the middle of the 18th was a dramatic one for music in England and Scotland. It proved to have a major effect on the repertoire of ‘traditional’ musicians. However, except for the well-known dance collections of the Playford family, very little music has survived from the era either in manuscript or as publications. The three published collections (Thomas Marsden, Daniel Wright and John Walsh) brought together here for the first time in their entirety provide a unique glimpse of these changes. Of particular value is the substantial number of early hornpipes, music which more or less disappeared from the repertoire but which is here in abundance. The book also contains concordances for the published tunes and an extended essay on the English Hornpipe
