In the last few years there have been several books and
recordings published of the Early Music of Scotland. Did
anybody choose to compete in the Scottish Harp competition with
a 16th or 17th century selection? Did that person use a replica
of an "period" harp? How well was this repetoire recieved by
the judges? How much leeway is given in what is acceptable as
an "Air" since the modern distinctions of Airs, reels,
strathspeys hadn't been invented yet?
I'm hoping to get back to harp in the next year or so when I
finish this damn dissertation, and I'm trying to figure out
where to concentrate among the different styles of harp music
that I love.
