Rediscovering Georgian Edinburgh’s musical past: a musical snapshot of an Enlightenment-era phenomenon with great social repercussions. This recording features John Kitchen performing fortepiano repertoire by composers working in Scotland during the Georgian period, when these works were published for performance on the popular square pianos sold in Edinburgh’s wealthy New Town. Paired with the elegant variations are the songs that inspired them, collected by Burns, Thomson and Johnson and published in The Scots Musical Museum of 1787, sung here by young baritone Malcolm Green. The popularity of Scots song in the latter half of the eighteenth century also carried political

significance in a nation recently torn by the strife of the Jacobite Rebellion.
