Re: [scots-l] William Marshall
The recent post about William Marshall made me wonder where I can buy books of his compositions. The closer to the original the better; best of all are copies of originals. I've started work on a CD-ROM edition which I expect to mostly replace the Fiddlecase one. What I was intending to do is transcribe the full score for the earlier collections but not the posthumous one (since it doesn't seem likely Marshall had any hand in the accompaniments for that book, and they're much more complicated than the early ones). There are a couple of small Marshall sheets or collections the Fiddlecase compilation left out. I'll include the ones I know of. There are also a few Marshall tunes in other people's collections, printed before Marshall himself published them. I might include these too, but the dating makes them a vague target. [Fiddlecase Books] claim a copyright on the collection and I'm not sure if it's legit to reproduce it (considering it's simply a reproduction of the originals which are in public domain, plus a 1 page introduction, I don't see how their copyright is valid, but what do I know?). They could do that legitimately if they had a unique copy. Since none of Marshall's collections is that rare, they're bluffing. - Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack * food intolerance data recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. off-list mail to j-c rather than scots-l at this site, please Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Bob Rogers South Carolina The only collected Marshall I'm aware of is the Fiddlecase Books edition called Marshall's Scottish Melodies, Airs, Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs c. for the Violin. It's a repro of 4 volumes of his works (A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels.. published 1781, Kinrara, pub. 1800, Marshall's Scottish Airs pub. 1822, and Volume 2 of a Collection of Scottish Melodies... pub. 1845) but is problematic in that it's reproduced at probably less than 1/2 size, being about 6 x 8 inches in a spiral binding. Considering the quality of print of the originals wasn't all that great to begin with, this size makes it a little tough to sight-read the tunes. I've been tempted to photocopy and enlarge the whole thing to make it more usable but the publishers claim a copyright on the collection and I'm not sure if it's legit to reproduce it (considering it's simply a reproduction of the originals which are in public domain, plus a 1 page introduction, I don't see how their copyright is valid, but what do I know?). At any rate, Elderly Instruments has it for $12.35US; see http://www.elderly.com/books/items/38-3.htm . -Steve -- Steve Wyrick -- Concord, California Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Thanks for that reminder, Nigel, he composed some wonderful tunes. I spent

Scottish Melodies etc. and found this one, which I haven't seen elsewhere:

[scots-l] William Marshall: Scottish Melodies
The Fiddlecase Books edition of Marshall's Scottish Melodies was mentioned on the list recently. I managed to track down a copy at Birchwood Books. They have several other copies in stock if anyone is interested.
