Album Summary: Niel Gow's Recovery is a small collection of 5 dance tunes published by Gow & Shepherd from their music-shop at No.16, Princes Street, Edinburgh in 1804. The first 2 tunes were "Danced as a Medley at the Queen's Assembly in George Street the 18th. of January 1804", reflecting the fact that the Gow dance-band was the height of posh Edinburgh ball-room fashion at the time. As was the relatively new Germanic style of composition that clearly influences both the harmony and texture of these late-Georgian arrangements. This ScotMus.com album preserves the look 'n' feel of the original scores in a direct facsimile edition.
