Songs Of The Isles, Hugh S. Roberton. Sheet Music Paperback

This paperback books sadly missing the front cover is a wonderful vintage collection of Scottish country and folk sheet music by Sir Hugh Stevenson Roberton (23 February 1874 – 7 October 1952), a Scottish composer and Britain's leading choral-master.

The book is in condition commensurate with age with some creasing and coloration of pages and missing the cover. However the other pages are in reasonable condition with no tears.

Roberton published over 300 of his own compositions and arrangements. The concert edition of Scottish Songs was first published in 1929. Songs of the Isles (1937) collects a further 20 songs based on highland airs, including Westering Home, and Mairi's Wedding.[3] (The original Gaelic lyric and tune of Mairi's Wedding was by John Bannerman, 1865-1938). Roberton wrote alternative lyrics for Dashing White Sergeant, also included in the volume.[4] His best known original composition is the partsong All in the April evening (words by Katharine Tynan).
