- Recessional for 9/11 remembrance, 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church , Louisville KY. Karen Brumley, bagpipes; Phil Hines, organ; Nick Speigl, percussion. Organ: 3/34 Schantz 1990
Hearing this is an emotional experience. For one, the performance is marvelous. Also the piece itself is so glorious. Finally, every year it is played at my church on Scottish Reformation Sunday. For years Henry Franz has been our piper. He and his wife and drummer Fran were always a treasure. She passed away a few years ago; the first year it was played without the tenor drum, I confess, tears rolled down my cheeks.
Tears of sheer joy streamed down at the sheer perfection of the beautiful pipes blending with the powerful majesty of the church organ!! It was a few moments of overwhelming happiness to hear ‘Highland Cathedral’ played perfectly & with such emotion.
Thank you 🙏 from

9/11 respect delivered with gusto. Scottish instrument, German composers, appreciative American audience, Heavenly organ play.
Greetings from Edinburgh !!! - beautufil - wish I had been there !!! x
It take the Highland Pipes to get the congregation "clapping in a Church". BRILLIANT Thanks. REX.
Und wenn man bedenkt daß dieses Musikstück von zwei Deutschen geschrieben wurde!
The pipes were in tune with good volume (you must have had a kick ass reed), tempo was good, but was most impressive was seeing you hustle up the stairs without skipping a beat! : )
Wow, this is great and Very well done. It looks like around 1:20-1:50 some people in the congregation may have been moved to tears. I'm sure it would have been great to hear in person.
Call me crazy, but in my opinion, the tune has such a wistful quality with the organ/highland pipes combination that it would work as a recessional for both a funeral as well as a wedding.
Yes. Right on all points. There are both hymn lyrics to it and Scottish patriotic lyrics... 'Land of my Fathers' I think is the name?
I wouldn't have minded him playing somewhat faster. Keeps the energy up. This guy's fingering -- so important to pipe music -- seems precise and crisp.
Very good.
Wonderful piece. Bagpipes and organ is a lovely combination for sure.
I am starting college soon and have been an organist for a little while at my church and one day would love to play this organ.
As a quietly-spoken introvert with sensitive hearing, I'm not sure why my two favourite instruments are the two loudest.
And that I learnt to play both.
Hence, the great Highland Bagpipe does your loud talking. Yes. 👍
You've also run across chamber, or kitchen, pipes when you're in the mood for something quieter, I hope? They have the same fingerings as the GHB.
Well done! I'm looking forward to doing the same with an organist friend soon for the first time.
Thank you. God bless you all. From Southampton, UK
Nice to hear an organist who has the ability to play in the same key as the piper. Pipers have no control over this, and it is the organist who must adjust. Well done.
Every year on Scottish Reformation Sunday, our organist warns all of us in the choir that the hymns will be lower in pitch. Being a tenor, I sometimes even sing it up an octave.
The organ CAN adjust. That is the secret.
The pipers' idea of an A note is almost a B Flat: -459 cycles.- Edit: 480-85 cycles.
Que final de missa linda! Parabéns! Congratulation!
Beautiful. Magnificent.
one of a few songs that give me the jeeby weebies, goose bumps, pimples or what have you. BTW the organ is the king of all instruments!!!
wow... great rendition of a beautiful tune. That must've been tough doing the stairs whilst playing!
Rarely you see this solemn piece played as recessional after a Mass in a Roman Catholic Church. 5/16/2019
Wenn die Melodie nicht auf meiner Beerdigung gespielt wird, hüpfe ich aus dem Sarg.
I have goosebumps just listening to this piece being played a friend told me about it and i had to hear it for myself
My how refreshingly in tune are the bagpipes.
Yeah. The pipes are not a chromatic instrument, so you have to pick and choose. The pipe scale is essentially pentatonic, with the intervals being filled in -- to taste. So you really kind of end up in Key of Celt.
Do you have the link for the sheet music? My husband plays the bagpipes and I, the organ.
Or the Scots Guards Standard Settings. But if forget whether it's in Vol. 1, 2, or 3.
god bless you and keep u love this song
Beautifully done!!!
grande admiration a la corne muse ..... je compte le 22 faire un duo sur HILAND CATHEDRAL corne muse / trompette . encore bravo aux musicien vous pouvez être fier !!!!!
I was lucky that I had the responsibility of being a parish organist for over 30 years, and have played in a cathedral, a consecrated church, and little parishes as well as large ones. I would still being serving, but the last parish I served, allowed the Hispanic pastor to rip it to pieces - and the Bishop did nothing to stop it. A "keyboard" replaced the organ and the focus shifted to a "kiddie MASS" approach with an inexperienced teenage girl doing the playing. The parish is basically dead
That’s what’s been happening big time in Catholic Churches in NY
So beautiful!
B-flat rules..... Well done 😍
Beautyful !!!
Bellissimo!
Very good. Well done !!!
I thought the organ was played extremely choppy.
Suppose he was voicing the music in a manner like how pipes do it?
@@w.reidripley1968 don’t start. I was expressing my opinion which I am free to do.
To the piper and organist- what did you all do to tune? Did the piper have a 440 Hz chanter or is that what it sounded like playing in the 470s? Thanks
I assume that the piper tuned her chanter to a-466 Hz, which is B flat on the organ
@@eamodec Nice guess. For pipes, it's 459 cycles. So you can sort of think B- flat instrument and take it from there.
@@eamodec ...because there's only so far you can move that chanter Reed up or down in its seat. The pipes' relative inflexibility keeps it a solo or unison instrument.
We're is this church
Too bad the parishioners were so rude that they couldn't wait for the glorious music to end before they started herding out while laughing and shouting. Shameful.
theremin137 I think unfortunately thats becoming the norm now. I've noticed that it gets worse with time.
Recessionals tend to work that way, especially when there is no singing.
Nice German tune written for Scottish bagpies. Organ ruined it.
This is a Scottish protestant song. Regardless of its beauty, it doesn't belong in a roman church.
its not Scottish it was composed in Germany
It is not a Protestant song as John Hill said written by 2 Germans as a tribute to the the Scottish Soldiers who were serving in Germany.
Our religions teach us to unite & love.
@@bennymerenti6850 Exactly Benny, some idiots out there go out and make a mockery of our religion using it as sick symbol of hate and supioroty against other people and religion followers
@sunnytheWeim Grow up you prat.
