The Simon Fraser Collection brings together the Airs and Melodies peculiar to the Highlands of Scotland and the Isles from 1715-1745. Many of the Airs in this book are Captain Fraser's instrumental settings of Gaelic songs derived from the singing of his father, grandfather and their acquaintances. Other tunes are a mixture of traditional & newly composed strathspeys, reels and jigs from this period. The music in this book is especially written for those who play the piano, harp, organ & fiddle.
