Subtitled '16 Easy Pieces from the Scottish Baroque', these are really nice arrangements. There is not a jig or a reel in sight here, but 4 Scots songs and tunes celebrating new bridges, along with sundry marches and minuets and the Thistle Sonata by James Oswald. There is an optional bass part as well as a playalong CD so good value all round - very Scottish!
