Abstract

This chapter explores the many different musical responses to Burns's lyrical poetry from his own time (the settings of Haydn, Beethoven and fellow Scottish composers), through the song settings of Robert Schumann, Robert Franz in the nineteenth century and to the many orchestral, choral and vocal settings of the twentieth century, culminating in a new commission for 2009 by James MacMillan.
