A Selection

of

Schottisches

for the

Schottischathon

at the

2008 Bush Traditions

Gathering

This is just a selection for the purposes of the weekend. There has not been time for adequate research to make this as involved as I would have liked. Ideally I would give credit to all those responsible for playing, collecting, transcribing, arranging, digitising and publishing these gems. There also needs to be concerted research into the origins of the tunes - brought here by European immigrants, learnt from sheet music sources from here and overseas, (and this may have been direct or via a local sight-reading player), and adapted from hornpipes. These are just some of the possibilities. The names given to the tunes by collectors/ transcribers are indicative of the obscurity of the sources, often naming them after the recorded player, or using the name of the person who owned the tune in the community. Regardless, perhaps through the popularity of the Barn Dance itself, there is a wealth of these wonderful tunes. Enjoy them.
