Tour Scotland video of a young Scottish female violinist playing Corrente Corelli violin music in St Ninian's Cathedral on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland.

Arcangelo Corelli, born 17 February 1653, died 8 January 1713, was an Italian violinist and composer of the Baroque era. His music was key in the development of the modern genres of sonata and concerto, in establishing the preeminence of the violin, and as the first coalescing of modern tonality and functional harmony. According to the poet Giovanni Mario Crescimbeni, who presumably knew the composer well, Corelli initially studied music under a priest in the nearby town of Faenza, and then in Lugo, before moving in 1666 to Bologna.
