This collection of 'Thirty-seven' of his own compositions (c. 1776), appeared eight years before any from the more famous fiddler Niel Gow. Dow also published a fascinating Collection of Ancient Scots Music 'consisting of ports, salutations, marches or pibrachs [piobaireachd - the classical music of the Great Highland Bagpipe]', Edinburgh: n.d. [1778]. In the latter he recorded some of the music known to Irish musician Rorie Dall O' Caithean, harper to several titled Scottish families. The copy here has been used for research; the date and place of Dows's death has been written underneath, in an unknown hand, probably in the 19th century.
