| Subject | Scottish Music, Scottish Song, Francis Peacock |
| Item Description | A setting of a traditional Scottish song from Francis Peacock's 'Fifty Favourite Scotch Airs for a Violin, German Flute and Violoncello, with a Thorough Bass for the Harpsichord'. Peacock was Aberdeen's official dancing-master for over sixty years. A cellist and violinist, he helped found the Aberdeen Musical Society. The cello part probably shows what he himself could play. The numbers over the notes in the bass part represent the 'figured bass', and tell the keyboard player (if there is one) which chords to use for the harmonies. Skinner used this melody for Figure 4 of his Ettrick Vale Quadrilles (JSS0670). |
