The Robert Petrie Collection

Transcribed to ABC by Steve Wyrick

---

Robert Petrie (1767-1830) was born in Kirkmichael, Perthshire. Little is known about his life. He was a violinist and a composer of tunes. He published his tunes (and tunes of various others who weren't identified) in four collections, from 1790 to 1805.

In 2004 and 2005, Steve Wyrick of Concord, California transcribed the first three of Petries collection to ABC. He sent me copies as they were finished, and also sent them to several other people.

Maybe someday I'll get Petrie's 4th collection, too.
