Introduction

Although data-based, the Scottish Music Centre library catalogue is not yet available on-line. The following is based on a list of items kindly extracted from their catalogue by the SMIC's Alasdair Pettinger.

Note that this list is certainly not comprehensive. Additional items of which you are aware can easily be appended to this list. Simply email the details me.

For each item in this list I have adopted as a de facto standard something like the data structure of the SMC's library catalogue. The numbered entries are as follows:

  1. Author.
  2. Year of composition.
  3. Title.
  4. Publisher. Date published.
  5. Instrumentation.
  6. Duration.

In the following entries, publishers are linked to their respective entries on the Recorder Music Publishers page.
