To celebrate #EarlyMusicDay 2022, here's a piece from our 2021 project, "Caledonia to the Capital", supported by a generous grant from the Continuo Foundation.

At the centre of the programme was the Fife-born Scottish composer James Oswald (1710-1769): here we perform his "Sonata on Scots Tunes", published in 1740 in Edinburgh. In it, Oswald takes various well-known traditional Scots tunes, and forms an Italian-style sonata!

Recorders: Mary-Jannet Leith
Baroque Violins: Magdalena Loth-Hill
Baroque Cello: Florence Petit
Theorbo: Elias Sibley
Harpsichord: Thomas Allery

With Angela Hicks, Soprano & Rory Carver, Tenor

Recorded on 17th September 2021 with the kind permission of St Mary-le-Bow Church, Cheapside.
