I only heard this for the very first time today, for the funeral of a very close friend, a lovely Scottish lady who was an Envoy in the The Salvation Army. She was 98. They played this as they bought her coffin in. I was in floods of tears and I'd never heard it before. In a single day I've found a piece of music that immediately spoke to my heart. ❤❤ God Bless you Jenny - Promoted To Glory as they say in the Salvation Army. What a tremendous tribute to a loyal servant. I'm even crying while I'm writing this listening to this stunningly beautiful piece of music. ❤
Does anyone else feel like they knew this piece the first time you heard it, like it was already in your heart somehow? I cannot listen to this without tearing up.
did a german write this? god bless him, bet him came back to haunt him though, as the scots blasted it out and came running toward em in battle. the women from hell, that's what the german soldiers called the scots soldiers wearing their kilts
@@2011Sweetgalbattle?! What battle would have seen Scots play this while charging at their allies, the Germans? The song was composed in the 80’s, beautiful and majestic as it is, it’s not some ancient piece 😂
My father's bagpipe band played this song at his funeral a about month ago.... it was so beautiful, it still brings tears in my eyes when hearing it again. Although my father isn't here anymore, this song makes him live on forever. Dad, thank you for everything, you were a great guy!
You will always have the very good memories of your father & the time you had with him which will never be taken away & is real treasure that will never be stolen and never be taxed.
This has to be the best version by far. The drummer doesn't miss a beat. The tempo and harmony is superb. Thank you for such a beautiful piece of music.
I AGREE! especially when there's no drum set which totally changes the mood! I recall playing this piece at the finale for the Golden Jubilee of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces in Brunei in 2011, the setting was very similar to this video, the feeling was memorable!!
Highland Cathedral is highly emotional, hauntingly beautiful, incredibly uplifting, and completely unique. It really heightens your senses and feelings to another level. I believe that it was composed by two Germans, but it feels 100% Scottish, and I love everything about Scotland ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴
Michael korb and uri rover(my spilling if probably off) the composed it for the 1982 (it was in the 1980s anyway ) for the highland games that were being held in Germany they year
Coming from a school where that song was sacred...hearing this again brought tears to my eyes, we'd play it every 11th November at exactly 11:11 for the soldiers who lost their lives in WW1, here's to you gentlemen!
Still crying about it, when I hear that little boy with the drums I start shaking! Reminds me of my great dad! Daddy I miss you! :( Papa, ik hou van je!
The greatest tune of all, thank you to the men who penned it and thanks to the Guy’s and Gal’s who play it wherever it is played, heard or wherever the musicians come from across the World. If peace was able to come to the globe this would be the worldwide anthem, Again, Thank You
My father’s ancestry is mostly Scottish and he was lucky enough to be stationed in Scotland during WWII...he said he almost didn’t come home. So proud of my Scottish heritage. God Bless Scotland🏴
This was played @ my wifes funeral on 10 August last year as we left the chapel, my fellow pipe major played it on my best pipes! Angela loved to here me playing it on pipes & p/c.a beautiful tune with great pathos .pipe major John.Anderson.
Music is indeed a universal language! To watch and listen to the many, many nations playing this wonderful melody in perfect timing with sweet expression....TOGETHER makes my heart and soul simply love it and wish all notions could harmonize together as this band is doing here! GOD BLESS THEM ALL! Thank you You Tube!
I have been part of world championships for young marching bands and standing there on field all band together last night all the bands together playing this one for a final what an unbelievable experience so uplifting ❤❤❤❤❤
Since I first viewed this I’ve got to watch it every day!! Gives me goosebumps every time!! I live in Colorado but I’m so proud of my heritage!! God Bless Britain!!!
God bless Hong Kong as there is no more Royal Hong Kong Police. May the Lord shows His countenance on Hong Kong people and give them peace and bestow grace on them. Amen.
When I hear the first 10 notes, I'm Hooked, Its a song that can bring you up from you knees and back down. Its the kind of music that sends shivers down your spine and gives you goose bumps on your arms. It can make you Happy when you sad and sad when you happy. This Is music at its finest.
Being a Scot! I salute Ulrich Roever. The tune always give me shivers down my spine and tears. This is a piece that is It on par with Loch Lomond (for me anyway)
@@bigdmac33 The story I've heard is that it was commissioned by King James of King James Bible fame--and the Germans who composed it hit the nail right on the head.
I've never heard this in my life up until a few weeks ago. My grandma recently passed away and wanted this song played at her funeral. It was one of her favourites. I have listened to it everyday since. She meant everything to me.
Hi Matt! This is a beautiful piece and trust me, even more so when you're in the middle of a massed bands, playing it. The energy and emotion is palpable. Unfortunately the sacrifice you write of, is forgotten.... Continually. Soldiers continue to die all over the World, from all nations, and for what? "For FREEDOM"!!! I hear you cry. Whose? Yours, mine, the Muslims, the Chinese??? There is no honor here, no sacrifice.... Only a waste of human life in the name of such. (My apologies, I'm just an old man reliving old forgotten memories)
@@hugglebear69 hi Malcolm I can only imagine what the atmosphere must be like 8n the middle of it and playing. As you say, a tragic waste of life for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice and of course all the family and friends affected. May they all RiP. Happ Chritsmas fella and all the best for 2022.
So powerful an beautifull. It BRI vs me to tears each time I hear it as came access on by mistake and so glad I did. This is being played at my funeral. The young lad was ecxellent from start 2 finish. Well done and "Thank You" 4 sharing it.
This conductor is doing a great job keeping all nations together in their playing of this great tune, and I just noticed that the 10 year old boy drummer is playing his drummer beautifully right in front of the conductor...So GREAT is THIS I can hardly stand it! Thanks to Winnie 9212 and You Tube!
1:24 and 2:39 always get's to me. Tears or goosebumps or both. So beautiful. I remember hearing this song for the first time 13 or 14 years ago at a ww2 memorial of Operation Market Garden. I was walking in the field while they played this and i saw the veterans standing there. It was such a beautiful and emotional thing to see. Will never forget that moment.
Thank you to the Composers, A very big thank you to each and every one of the Musicians, thank you Captain Bamler for such marvelous time keeping, and most of all a MASSIVE THANKYOU to Winnie for posting this very powerful,stirring,but yet comforting piece of musical brilliance!
"Greater love has no man shown, than he who lays down his life for another." Thank you- all of you, who, in the defense of all we hold dear, paid the dearest price- your life! May the tomorrows you bought for us be not spent in vain but held more precious than all the riches this world can offer, and used to the full that your sacrifices may be honored by the fruits they bear. Rest serenely in the silent memory of the Heavenly Father, never to be forgotten! DZL
My father has just passed away and I HAD to come and listen to this. the piece here as it encompasses musicians from around the world playing a piece of music written by Germans in tribute to my fathers (and my own)country of birth. Something my dad taught me at an early age, love all. He also loved Robert Burn's quote 'for a' that and a'that men the world ower shall brithers be for a'that. RIP Dad I love you and am so glad your suffering is over.
Absolutely amazing. Discovered this masterpiece recently and I could watch/listen over and over again, which I do frequently. It's gone to No 1 in my all time favourites.
+James Mercer Aye James And it chokes me to, they need to write a lot of music to pay my family back. For they are laid in France and Belgium.And I like many will never forgive them.
When you get past race, gender, social status, and all other classifications of our human species, you learn to appreciate anything and everything; including music, such as this!!! ❤️❤️
When I first heard this "scotish anthem" I thougt, it was a very old folk-theme from the highlands. How surprised I was, when I discovered, that it was composed, arranged and produced by two german musicians/producers in 1982: Uli Roever and Michael Korb But don't be dissapoint about that. Everytime I hear this theme, I feel a little bit like William Wallace....absolutely great!!!
i can't even remember the last time i heard this but it was back when i was in air cadets at an intermediate marching band course i got to participate in something like this and hearing it in person was so damn magical, i'll never forget the feeling of all the bands playing as one, i wish i could go back and relive that moment... gods im 24 and i sound like some old geezer trying to remember the "good ol'days" this performance right here is the perfect definition of the quote: "one band, one sound" I am no longer in cadets and im not part of any military force but i'd still gladly salute
+Alex Crane Love it how I feel the same as you when listening to this, but my home is not Scotland, it's Hong Kong, on the other side of the world. Hong Kong and Scotland have an extremely long relationship dating back almost 200 years and Highland Cathedral is something we cherish.
According to Wikipedia, the tune was the Royal Hong Kong Police Anthem under British rule and was composed by Germans. But it would be lovely anthem for Scotland.
I heard this played at the 2006 Edinburgh Military Tattoo by the Massed bands during the finale. I burst into tears as it was my first time in the UK and seeing places where my Father had lived and my ancestors before me but also my Nana had passed away the year before.
I was 10 when my father showed me this piece of art and the „little drummer“. I’m 26 now and still have to shed a tear when hearing this masterpiece. I wonder what the little boy is doing now
Even now, 1 year later, this tune still brings tears to my eyes, to all who like this tune, may you have many happy years and birthdays wherever you are.
Heard this in Ypres on the eve of Remembrance Sunday. They started at Menin Gate and marched down into the square. I will admit, hearing this and watching the band and following servicemen march behind, it got me all emotional. This song needs to be heard over and over again!
Maybe this was played when Hong Kong was part of the UK, I am from the Highlands of Scotland and I have heard this played (with pride) all over the world xx
Enjoyed the Asian ladies blowing on the bagpipes and stroking the drums. Melody composed by two Germans for the Scots/UK. Truly international. This conductor really give the melody an. Oooomph. 5/2/2019
This is memories lane for me. This was my song with bag pipes walking down the wedding aisle on August 2, 2003. I chose it because my mom is Scottish and my husband's father is Irish. It was joining the 2 together. It was perfect!! Love the song :)
I love this touching presentation! Many thanks Winnie for this one and all the others that you have made available to us. Simply fantastic to see so many different faces...all with one thing in mind and that is to make fantastic music!! Great!! Much appreciated !!
My grandfather was a member of the 7th Scots Dragoon Guard. I never met him as he died before I was born but I am still proud of my heritage. One day I want to see this amazing country they call Scotland. Oh yes. I was born in Australia and will fight for my country till every drop of my blood has soaked into the Australian soil. But I still want to see my grandfather's land too.
In the US, Rhode Island (Bristol), I was Minister of Music, and every year we used to celebrate the Kirking of the Tartans, and we opened with this piece, with FULL ORGAN and PIPES. Oh, I still have goose bumps every time I play this at sunset on my little beach on the lake... THANKS Winnie for this one ! Sean

Yes. it's my go to for crying and I cry within seconds of it starting. Love that.
This song reminds me of how to train your dragon
So true
I think it's that all of us never lose that part of Scotland, that's in us all. Scotland forever.
Beautiful. In tears every time. Thank you to our German friends who wrote this masterpiece,

So beautiful...so proud to be Scottish 👍👍💙❤🙏🙌🙌👌👌
My grandfather was a member of the 7th Scots Dragoon Guard. I never met him as he died before I was born but I am still proud of my heritage. One day I want to see this amazing country they call Scotland. Oh yes. I was born in Australia and will fight for my country till every drop of my blood has soaked into the Australian soil. But I still want to see my grandfather's land too.
Colin Campbell thank you so much for sharing this #amaZing presentation for the heart
I shall be playing Highland Cathedral and amazing grace on Eastbourne bandstand with Wealden brass band on 8th May and 4th sept
每一次聽都有一種莫名的感動，如能置身其中更是不枉此生！
Without doubt, the finest and most impressive rendering of Highland Cathedral.
This has got to be the best version on youtube :-)
That little boy at the beginning gets me every time
In the US, Rhode Island (Bristol), I was Minister of Music, and every year we used to celebrate the Kirking of the Tartans, and we opened with this piece, with FULL ORGAN and PIPES. Oh, I still have goose bumps every time I play this at sunset on my little beach on the lake... THANKS Winnie for this one ! Sean

Hier krijg je toch werkelijk kippevel van. Geweldig mooi.
