the Gow Family's music
the Gow Family's music
The main collections here are "The Complete Repository" (CR), and "Collection of Strathspey Reels &c." (CSR), sets of 4 (or 5?) books each, published from the late 1700s to the early 1800s, which included bass lines for all the tunes, and variations for some of them. then as a single collection that combined each set into one thick book. Each collection contained tunes that the Gows (mostly Niel and Nathaniel) had published in smaller booklets over the years, and is an important part of the history of Scottish music (including tunes from other areas, especially England and Ireland).

The listing below just shows the summary files for these collections. You might like to try one of my tools for listing collections of ABC music files:
