Now this should excite a lot of you, especially harp aficionados.
Ancient Scottish music played on the Harp of Mary, Queen of Scots, (well a replica actually as the original is preserved in the National Museum of Scotland).
Regardless of the minor glitch, here we have the music that had them 'dancing in the aisles' in the 13th to 18th centuries, though maybe not the church music.
