Barsanti: A Collection of Old Scots Tunes

A
COLLECTION
OF
OLD SCOTS TUNES
With the Bass
FOR
VIOLONCELLO or HARPSICHORD
Set and most humbly Dedicated, to
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE LADY ERSKINE,
BY
FRANCIS BARSANTI.

EDINBURGH,
Printed by ALEXANDER BAILLIE & sold by Messrs HAMILTON & KINCAID.
Price 2 sh:6
published 1742 by Francis (Francesco) Barsanti
ABC transcription by John Chambers, Dec 2013
This directory contains ABC transcriptions of 28 Scottish song tunes, many of which are also used as dance tunes. This collection includes a figured-bass voice, with good bass lines and chords. It's likely that Barsanti wrote the figured-bass accompaniment, but the book's title page doesn't explicitly say this.

The individual tunes are in files with the name PPN_Tune_Title.abc, where PP is the page number, N is the tune number within the page, and the title has underscores separating the words. This gives a very readable system that puts the tunes in the same order as in the book. Perhaps it would be better to leave off the PPN_ part, giving us alphabetical order, and we wouldn't then want an index. But this is a "warts and all" transcription of the booklet, so the original order is preserved here.
