Cover from the Edcath Collection

The Edcath Collection, by P/M Donald Shaw Ramsay, was first published nearly sixty years ago, and was a three book collection. The version presented here is the second edition of the the first book. This collection is somewhat unique among the collections presented on our site in that it is the only one that includes drum scores for many of the settings.
