Catalogue of Works Barry Peter Ould
Catalogue of Works Barry Peter Ould In preparing this catalogue, I am indebted to Thomas Slattery (The Instrumentalist 1974), Teresa Balough (University of Western Australia 1975), Kay Dreyfus (University of Mel- bourne 1978–95) and David Tall (London 1982) for their original pioneering work in cata- loguing Grainger’s music.1 My ongoing research as archivist to the Percy Grainger Society (UK) has built on those references, and they have greatly helped both in producing cata- logues for the Society and in my work as a music publisher. The Catalogue of Works for this volume lists all Grainger’s original compositions, settings and versions, as well as his arrangements of music by other composers. The many arrangements of Grainger’s music by others are not included, but details may be obtained by contacting the Percy Grainger Society.2 Works in the process of being edited are marked ‡.

The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and 'Auld Nanse Tinnock's' (the 'change-house' of Burns's poem 'The Holy Fair') were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum. -
RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields. -

Guide to the Robert Burns Holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library
Guide to the Robert Burns holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library 20 January 2021 HISTORICAL NOTE Robert Burns (1759-1796) is a national symbol for Scots, the greatest in a long line of poets who wrote in the Lowland Scots dialect. The son of a tenant farmer, he had little formal education; but he read widely, and drew largely on the folk tales and tunes of his native land. He began his life as a poet while working a farm with his brother, Gilbert, from 1784 to 1788. During this period he wrote some of his best poetry, but managed to scrape only the barest living. In 1786, trying to raise money for passage to Jamaica where a job awaited him, he published the Kilmarnock edition of his early poems. It made him famous, though not rich, and he continued to combine careers as farmer and poet. In 1789 he supplemented his income by obtaining an appointment in the excise, finally giving up his farm in 1791. SCOPE & CONTENT The Rosenbach holds the manuscripts of more than 50 poems, including such important ones as “For a’ that and a’ that”, “Bannockburn”, “Tam O’Shanter”, and “The Rights of Woman”; as well as approximately 50 letters to such close friends as Frances Dunlop, Agnes M’Lehose (Clarinda), and Maria Riddell; and several letters by Burns’s family and friends, including Gilbert Burns, William Riddell, and Helen Maria Williams. Our holdings also include more than 40 books by Burns, mostly early editions, including a copy of the first edition of his Poems that belonged to his patron Frances Dunlop, with copies of additional poems and letters in her hand bound in. -

Jungst pflUckt' ich einen Wiesenstrauss, Trug ihn gedankenvoll nach Haus ; Da hatten, von der warmen Hand, Die Kronen sich alle zur Erde gewandt, Ich setzte sie in frisches Glas, Und welch ein Wunder war rair das Die Kopfchen hoben sich empor, Die Blatterstengel im grunen Flor, Und allzusammen so gesund, Als stiinden sie noch auf Muttergrund. So war mir's, als ich wundersam Main Lied in fremder Sprache vernahm. Goethe PREFACE. I WAS led into the present, task by seeing now and again in newspapers, reviews of foreign translations of the works of Robert Burns, and by occasionally meeting with specimens of these translations in my wanderings on the Continent.
