There are lots of WWW pages dealing with Burns and Auld Lang Syne.

Two are in the Scots Musical Museum, (Vol. I and Vol. V) and then there is the other one that we all know and are tired of from New Year's Eve celebrations. Personally, I like the one in Vol. I of the Museum. It has a big range, which is fun to work with on the clarsach. I wonder which version is in your c. 1695 collection, Rob? Do you have access to the Museum, can you compare and edify us? I find this revelation most exciting! Thank you for the information!

I wonder which version is in your c. 1695 collection, Rob? Do you have access to the Museum, can you compare and edify us? If I find the time, I shall put the Balcarres version on my website sometime during the next week. It shares similarities with the Vol 4 version of SMM, but many differences. I shall upload two versions: one a Scorch file, which allows you to hear it played by a computer (yuk), but for which you need to download the Scorch reader (it only takes three minutes or so) - and maybe a gif file or similar. The best thing would be for me to record it, but I don't have the equipment at home. Just to whet your appetite: it is in a minor key, more reflective.

The big moosic room, VS-880, two decent AKG condensor mikes and a seat - just come here, sit down, and we can produce every bit as accurate a sound as you'll get from the best studio (seriously).
