Two recent releases from long-time program regulars: John Potter & Red Byrd with "A Scottish Lady Mass: Sacred Music from Medieval St. Andrews"; and Sylvain Bergeron and La Nef with "The Battle of Killicrankie--Love & War Songs from Scotland."
NOTE: All of the music on this programs comes from two discs of music from Scotland. The first looks at the liturgy of the Lady Mass around the liturgical center of St. Andrews around 1230. The second is music from the time of the return of the Jacobites to the Scottish Highlands in 1689, the victory at Killiecrankie, and the subsequent crushing of the attempted revolt.
