The Tablature for Diatonic Cittern from the Robert Edwards Commonplace Book, Circa 1650, Dundee, Scotland The tablature for Diatonic Cittern from the Robert Edwards Commonplace Book, circa 1650, Dundee, Scotland Reintabulated by Rob MacKillop using Fronimo v.3, April, 2006 Dedicated to the cittern discussion group, initiated by Doc Rossi: http://www.mail-archive.com/cittern%40cs.dartmouth.edu/ I have merely set down the original tablature in an easy to read format, without any editing whatsoever. The tablature contains many mistakes and no time signals, and requires players of imagination and flair to make the most of this beautiful repertoire. Robert Edwards was a kirk minister for the parish of The Murroes, just north of Dundee (my home town) on the East Coast of Scotland. He was also a member of the Dundee town council. The only other surviving Scottish cittern manuscript also belonged to a minister of the Kirk. This might strike some as odd, yet the Wedderburn Brothers of Dundee had recently printed 'The Guid and Godlie Ballads', putting new words, reflecting the message of the Reformed Kirk, to common folk tunes. This book was as popular in Scotland as the Bible. It 'legitimised' folk music and set the foundation stone for traditional music to beome the national music of Scotland.

  • The Scottish Medieval Lute ©Rob Mackillop, 2002
    The Scottish Medieval Lute ©Rob MacKillop, 2002 [This essay is one outcome of my researches into the medieval lute within Scotland, for which I was granted study leave by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and the ancient and contemporary oud practices in Morocco and Turkey made possible by a Churchill Travelling Fellowship. Thanks go to both institutions. Other related outcomes include: three commissions of new compositions (financed by the SAC and the Hope Scott Trust), one for oud (Edward McGuire ~ The Oud Player of Rosslyn), the others for 12-course lute (John Maxwell Geddes ~ The Rosslyn Oud, and John Purser ~ The Old Composer Remembers); my own composition, ‘The Healing’; and arrangements for medieval lute of some of the music mentioned in this text, first performed at Boarhills in Fife, 1st February, 2002.] Introduction In October 1996, I recorded a CD called Graysteil for Dorian Recordings (DIS- 80141). The musicians were William Taylor (clarsach and harp), Paul Rendall (tenor voice), Andy Hunter (traditional ballad singer) and Rob MacKillop (medieval and renaissance lutes). My experience of performing medieval music had been minimal and largely based on intuition, but the recording proved seminal and propitious in its choice of venue: Rosslyn Chapel. Lying some ten miles south of Edinburgh at the village of Roslin, is the ancestral home of the St Clair (Sinclair) family, Rosslyn Castle, which is connected via the interestingly named ‘Minstrals Walkway’ to the famous Rosslyn Chapel. The name Rosslyn is Gaelic in origin, ross – ‘a rocky promontory’, lynn – ‘a waterfall’. The Chapel is decorated with a profusion of engravings which are on the receiving end of much revelatory academic attention.

    Edwards, W. Seventeenth-century Scotland: the musical sources. In Porter, J. (Eds) Defining Strains. The Musical Life of Scots in the Seventeenth Century, pages pp. 47-71. Bern: Peter Lang (2007) http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/3809/ Deposited on: 9 November 2007 Glasgow ePrints Service http://eprints.gla.ac.uk WARWICK EDWARDS Seventeenth-Century Scotland: The musical sources* In this article I attempt a comprehensive survey of known primary musical sources associated with seventeenth-century Scotland, sum- marizing knowledge to date, calling attention to errors of fact or logic, offering some new observations, and suggesting areas for future enquiry. The purpose is to provide a single point of reference and to lay a secure foundation for further study and evaluation. To place the sources in some kind of context related to the musical life of Scots, I have adopted a broad geographical classification, beginning with Aberdeen and the north-east, and proceeding to Glasgow and the south-west, before considering those of uncertain provenance, and finally sources of Scots material compiled beyond Scottish borders. Aberdeen Almost all sources from the north-east are closely connected with the city and royal burgh of Aberdeen. Two brothers, David and Andrew Melvill, played leading musical roles there in the early decades. David first comes to our notice as copyist of three extant music books. One is a bassus part-book that bears his name at the foot of each page and contains a sizeable collection of English, Continental and local pieces * I am grateful to the Peter Lang Publishing Group for permission to publish this article here in advance of its appearance as a chapter entitled ‘The Musical Sources’ in Defining Strains.
