The British Musical Miscellany: or the Delightful Grove: Being a Collection of Celebrated English and Scotch Songs. Set for the Violin, German Flute, The Common Flute, and Harpsichord (John Walsh, London c. 1734).

info       title page
This collection of songs published by Walsh in 6 volumes around 1734 is quite interesting because arranges popular English and Scotch tunes adding to them some new lyrics. As usual for this kind of collections, a transposed part for the «common flute» – that is, a treble recorder – is provided. Stripping the music of unnecessary texts, we have a precious collection of popular tunes with a good continuo part. The continuo realization is editorial.
