Well, I did not know the modern meaning of that title, neither Mr. Beck,
I suppose.
Isn't the old meaning something like "Over the stone wall (or dam?), and
kiss her laddie"?
I btw seem to become addicted to the Scottish baroque! Now something
that certainly is PC:
A new Scot's Measure, mr. Beck's way

.. well, more Balcarres ... the piece is beautiful. Could of course be
played more cleanly. Just in case somebody is interested:

Dear lutenists,
my "weekend project" was to play some Scottish, Celtic sounding
small pieces by "Mr. Beck" of the Balcarres manuscript. In a way
mostly the music is not technically very difficult, but on the other
hand, musically it certainly is not easy!
In case someone is interested, the three pieces of my weekend are
Joy to the Person of my love, mr. Beck's way (ms. Balcarres 59)

The period and place are very interesting: little by little the
tonality is creeping into the modal, and even more or less
pentatonic music! That was a fruitful mixture!
All the best,
Arto
