148571 : Oswald : Lament for Captn. Cook the celebrated navigator : sheet music
Catalogued as Instrumental (Women Composers)
Recorded by Nathaniel Gow in his Vocal Melodies of Scotland, c.1816. Mary Oswald (see illustration) was an amateur musician and wife to Richard Oswald of the Auchincruive estate, Ayrshire; she had no familial connection to composer James Oswald. Her funeral cortege dispossessed Robert Burns of his accommodation on a stormy night, prompting a published poem attacking the "quondam Mrs Oswald".
