Every time I listen to a piobaireachd, whether for the first time or the 10th+ time, I'm just pulled into the music by the pure, melancholic, hypnotic sound of it.
Absolutely haunting. The great music has a melancholy beauty not equalled by any other that I've heard in my life.
Cuan Mor gu brath.The great music on display at the Argyllshire Gathering wednesday of this week. 26 Piobaireachds in the Gold Medal a cultural experience and a joy to listen to from beginning to end. Lament for the Children right up there with the best.

You should give the history of the tune just as importent!
"And now for something completely different." The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band playing a tune, Journey to Skye, written by my uncle and multiple award winning jazz musician, Don Thompson (Order of Canada, Officer.) This tune was written after visiting the Isle of Skye - the ancestral homeland of his father-in-law, Malcolm Nicholson (Order of Canada.) ruclips.net/video/AajC020hm9k/видео.html
I valways loved the Scottish pipes played well. I am half Irish and half Welsh due to my parents but brought up in England. Such tunes speak to my very soul.. deep deep down. I am in floods of tears listening to the beauty of this. Thank you.
So what happened to the children?
several siblings died of smallpox i believe. i think this tune was written by their father
Pìos breagha pìobaireachd bho Dhòmhnall Mac a ’Phearsain as fheàrr le m’ athraichean
One of the saddest, and most profoundly beautiful musical pieces ever written.

I Am Instrument Pro Player Very Much House!
very fine indeed also give a listen to John Burgess
He will always remain.. I listen to this many summer nights sipping scotch around the fire... I’ve been playing 34 years and always strive for this tone..perfection..
My great grandfather Macomb MacPherson born 1828 wrote this. He was the piper for Cluny MacPherson Clan Chief. This is awesome to hear
Is it true that your great grandfather played "A Scarce of Fishing" in the morning and died the same afternoon, whilst on a fishing trip, as I've heard? (Incidentally, apologies for using his name as my screen name). However, I thought that the tune (Cumha na Chloinne) was composed in the 1650s by Padruig Mor MacCrimmon.
@@calumpiober1535 It is a MacCrimmon tune. Composed by Partrick Mor after 7 of his 8 sons died of smallpox. The melody is said to be the cries and wails of his grieving wife as she mourned the death of her children.
Not written by Calum MacPherson. This is allegedly a composition by Patrick Mor MacCrimmon in the 17th Century, as Daniel says following the loss of his children to smallpox bought into Skye by a ship.
LAMENT FOR THE CHILDREN [Adap[ted to the circumstances of Parkland, Florida, 2018] WORDS: Come pledge again your heart and hand. One grasp that none will sever. Our password be “Aroused, We Stand!” Our pledge, “No More, Forever”!. And let the orange armband be our badge, my stalwart brother. To tell the world that in this pledge, We stand with one another. Benbow Cheesman. West Allis, WI. U.S.A.
Thank you for your perceptive and heartbreaking response to this music.
Possibly the greatest piper of modern times, unfortunately no longer with us in the flesh, but very much with us through these recordings. Ceol mor gu brath! A beautiful tune and sung beautifully on these bagpipes _ fonn ceolmhor, 's le Domhnull 'ga sheinn.
I just learned today from a genealogist in Australia, that my great grandfather Macomb MacPherson official piper for the Cluny castle, wrote this. I wa raised as an adopted child but I loved Pipe music and worked extra jobs in Jr High School to take Highland dancing lessons. My adopted family didn't encourage this. My heart soured when I heard pipe music and I won a medal in Highland dance at the 1957 Bronx Irish Feis It was IN MY BLOOD Nature vs Nurture
@@macpduff2119 your genealogist was incorrect. This is a MacCrimmon tune.
A truly magical performance.
The master
SAOR ALBA
amazing performance, and he was very old when he recorded this too! Amazing tone and technique.
He was only 67 when this was released Nicholas.
He was born into a family of famous Pipers
Take a hike, Nicholas! Some day you'll understand.
the best drone around
I love Piobaireachd
When you say you like "piobaireachd" do you mean piping in general ( "Gaelic: pobaireachd") or specifically the classical bagpipe music (Gaelic: Ceol Mor" thst is, Big Music)? Incidentally, in Gaelic one does not say "play the bagpipes" but "sing" the bagpipes. Also no Highlander would refer to " tha skirl" of the bagpipes- that is left to the Sassunachs that is those non-Gaelic speaking English and Scots. Finally, for a piper second to none, one need only turn to Donald Macpherson.
Sir, don't be so hard (o critical) on Lasgar comments about Piobaireachd. It is better to have an good appreciation of the music than the word used.
fantastic! I hope to learn this some day
Really nice. I am thoroughly enjoying this as I sit here listenting, melancholy tonight....
Excellent! Thanks for posting.
Miraculous! Thank you for sharing this.
