Most of my Written Sources:

1750s To Read Bremner’s Short Treatise on Music:

Robert Bremner, “Some Thoughts on the Performance of Concert Music” Early Music (Vol. 7, No. 1. 1979) pp. 48-57.

I was quite thankful to use the Grove Music Online entries on William McGibbon and Robert Bremner, unfortunately I can only find links through my University Library, which will do you no good.

Some good information from the Church of Scotland website on the Monymusk Revival:

The Newspaper Article I read from was Quoted in The Scots Magazine from April, 1755 Issue beginning on page 189.

The Magazine talks about the issue at length, but I was directed to it from this Website:

1750s Bremner’s The Grant’s Rant:

1750s Bremner’s Elgin:

1750s Bremner’s Aberdeen or St. Paul’s: (I found this setting after reading a much worse transcription, and I interpreted a note incorrectly, on 2 of the 3 parts, I did not go back to correct it….Robert Bremner would hate that his printed version was not even safe from change!)
