'I am Learning to play upon a German flute...' (from a letter to the Marquis of Montrose, 1702). Elizabeth Ford (baroque flute) and Allan Wright (harpsichord) highlight the importance of the flute in 18th century Scotland, exploring fashionable repertoire by native and continental composers. Their programme draws on the latest editorial insights into William McGibbon's music, placing his popular oeuvre in the context of work by Scottish contemporaries, General John Reid, James Oswald and Alexander Munro, alongside virtuoso flute compositions by Edinburgh resident Francesco Barsanti and London visitor, Joachim Quantz.
