Four Guitars : Rob MacKillop

A Sonata of Scots Tunes arr. for four guitars by Rob MacKillop

A Sonata of Scots Tunes arranged for four guitars or guitar orchestra by Rob MacKillop consists of four pieces all set by the 18th century Scottish musician James Oswald.

Originally scored for two violins and continuo, Rob MacKillop, one of Scotland's leading guitar and lute performers, has successfully arranged this work for four (or more) guitars by adding an extra 'viola' (guitar 3) part, which completes the harmonies suggested by the continuo bass.

The first performance of this work took place at the Dundee Guitar Festival, Scotland 2000 with four guitarists to each part.
