CLASSICAL MUSIC SOCIETY - Allan Childe, from Derby Recorded Music Society, presented North of the Border, illustrating the development of Scottish music, from ninth century bells to a composition of 2002.

First millennium music included an antiphon dedicated to St Columba, and a lament. The 13th century St Andrew's Music Book included Kyrie and a raunchy Plough song was followed by Robert Carver's 16th century O Bone Jesu.

Musicians at the time of the unification of the English and Scottish thrones included James Oswald, whose Sonata on Scots Tunes came next.

The audience heard Fantasia and Variations on a Favourite Scottish Air (Ye Banks and Braes) by Fernando Sor, music by Hamish McCunn, and coming into the 20th century, Cecil Coles's suite From The Scottish Highlands.

The programme came up to date with James McMillan's setting of O Bone Jesu.
