THE DAY IT DAWS
The Lowland Scots Bagpipe and its Music 1400 to 1715;

This is Pete Stewart’s Scottish companion volume to ‘Robin with the Bagpipe’. It contains music played by bagpipers described in Scots sources from the 15^th to the 17^th centuries and charts the history of piping in the Lowlands from the 15^th century to the first appearance of  music set for bagpipes in the early 18^th century.
"In bringing together this splendid repertoire with the historical context within which it was set, Pete Stewart has set a new standard in the published scholarship of the lowland piping tradition ... his research is meticulous and penetrating .. yet remains highly readable .. he has achieved a synthesis of music and history that greatly enhances our understanding of both" (Dr Gary West, Dept of Scottish and Celtic Studies, University of Edinburgh)
