- Nota:
- "A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the Voice" is a multi-volume collection of Scottish song edited and published by the entrepreneurial musician, publisher and Clerk to the Board of Trustees for Encouragement of Art and Manufacture in Scotland, George Thomson. For the first volume, which appeared in 1793, Thomson commissioned the composer Ignaz Pleyel to provide musical settings.From the Preface of Vol. 3: "For the composition of these [the symphonies and accompaniments], he entered into terms with Mr Pleyel, who fulfilled part of his engagement very satisfactorily; but having then deserted it, the Editor, after a fruitless correspondence with him, which retarded the progress of the Work for years, at length found it necessary to turn his eyes elsewhere. He was so fortunate, however, [...] as to engage Mr Kozeluch and Dr Haydn, to proceed with the Work, which they have finished in such a manner, as to leave him without any other regret, but that of having so long delayed his application to them." This is the second edition of the first volume, published in 1803, in which Thomson has replaced 21 of the previously published version with settings by Haydn.
Contains a full page engraved illustration "The Birks of Invermay Soldier's Return".
With Thomson's signature on title page. - Permalink:
