The MacKintosh Collections BOOK

Red Rob", born in Tulliemet, Perthshire c.1745, has long been recognised as one of our foremost composers of Scottish
dance music. The work contains over 350 tunes, about three-quarters of them original compositions of Mackintosh, the others
being his arrangements of and variations on existing tunes.

While most of the pieces are strathspeys, reels, jigs etc., there are also some items of "drawing room music" â minuets,
gavottes and others â reflecting Mackintoshâs membership of the orchestra of Edinburgh Musical Society. The four collections
have been reproduced in their entirety, with a minimum of editorial interference, in order to provide an accurate point of
reference to the composerâs work. The music has, however, been reprinted in clear type and set out in a reader-friendly way.

The book contains an introduction by Charles Gore.

There are 167 pages, and the book has a soft cover
