- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2018
- Check out my newest music video! This is a set of tunes in D on my set of Shepherd Smallpipes. Just in time for the holidays, this video promotes the launch of my new CD called "ASPIRATIONS" coming out Januray 11th. The tunes are:
Slow air - Moh Ghile Mear (My Gallant Hero) trad.
Jig - Chasing the Storm - Griffin Hall
Jig - Jig of Slurs trad.
Reel - St.Joseph's Reel trad.
The smallpipes are in A, but the drones are playing A/D so I played only tunes in "D". A BIG thank you to "KOSMIC CITY PICTURES" for filming the footage! Hope you enjoy the playing.

Hi Guys,
Since so many of you have asked, here is the tune list:
Slow air - Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Hero)
Jig - Chasing the Storm (written by me)
Jig - Jig of Slurs
Reel - St.Joseph's Reel
The smallpipes are in A, but the drones are playing A/D so I played only tunes in "D". Hope you enjoy the tunes!
love your arrangements and especially like Chasing the Storm.
Surprised you choose to play mouthblown small pipes. Bellows-blown are so much nicer.
hi, any place where i can find/buy "chasing the storm" please ? thx
@@pierre-arnaudfaye2520 I can email it to you if you’d like. Send me an email at griffinthepiper@gmail.com
Mo
respect from China，it is a light in darkness time for me
How can you watch youtube in china?? The dirty communist government will come to arrest you! Run!!!
I thought RUclips was blocked in China.
Mo Gheale Mar I think is the name of this.
The first part.
Mouth blown smallpipes! Usually only see them with a bellows!
I think Border Pipes are different?
I like that you can hear the foot tapping along
Bagpipes always make me cry. Can you be home sick for a place you've have never been? Because that's what it feels like.
It is a part of your DNA, resonating to the harmonics of the drones and chanter alike, remembering the times that your ancestors played around the fire or on the field of battle, at a wedding or at at a wake alike...
@@Ceannaire1 I believe you! The longing for my clan.
Which Clan?
@@Ceannaire1 My father's ancestors are from Scotland, Clackmannanshire. Not sure which clan...but I am an Allan. My grandparents came from Scotland to Canada in 1926, from Edinburgh. Mom's side are Irish...Hickey's. From the Ó hÍceadha clan.
Debra P I play the Two Droned Irish Warpipes, which are the forerunner to the Highland Pipes. I do a lot of weddings, funerals, commemorative events etc. and just like the Scottish pipes, they are a very emotive instrument.
Example from a 1916 Commemorative event I did can be found at ruclips.net/video/mBk9Qz7wb9Y/видео.html
Also on my Channel called Sandymount Heritage.
I really like the sound of these pipes. They’d be amazing for playing piobaireachd.
Lovely play and sound from this more mellow `small pipes`.
Thank you Griffin, awesome lovely musical set!
Them Scots have such great tunes!!!
Nowhere else are such to be found...
@@LukeHarves Ah, my bad.
While I very much appreciate pipes, I do not know all tunes, sadly.
Far too much songs out there to hear them all, let alone know... ;)
Thank you for that information.
I heard it few times over, and I can't say, it sounds Irish... now, do not get me wrong, please, I do NOT say, it isn't Irish!!!!
It just has a real Scottish "feel"...
Normally, I can tell both apart rather well, whether played on "normal" or other pipes.
Here then... I made a "serious mistake" (well, I do not really believe in "races, we're all human, but you get my point...).
Strange... I can't get over it...
Note, I am autistic (Aspergers)...
@@LukeHarves It is Irish, but it's about Charles Stuart, the true Scottish King. Irish and Scots are cousins.
They're wonderful. Really love the Foxhunter's jig.
Thanks you for the "slow air", inspires me even morew to play the small pipes. Thanks Mr Griffin/Saint Josep for the thrill of the reel.
Very nice! Your drones sound great 👍
indeed! can you tell us your secret? :)
great job!
Wonderful sounding instrument, Wonderful playing!
Thank you for the music
Dude, great set!!!!!
This is so beautiful. Must have a look for the cd when it comes out.
Buetyful playing 👨
ridiculously steady, great work :)
Simply Amazing! 😶
I feel your passion
Snoyhrr Melody i hear thod evening, different from other bagpipes.i like It such SS others
Wow!
Very Nice. I will look for your CD. I have the same Shepherd Smallpipes. They have a wonderful tone.
Thanks so much, I am thinking of buying a set after many years of dreaming of it. I noticed they are mouth blown. Strange how it sweetened the sound. Who manufactured this instrument? Any thoughts on bellows blown vs. Mouth blown? Thanks for any info✌
Brilliant. I was able to learn it from scratch just by playing it a few times at half speed.
U must be good then
@@adamanuran264 Not great but had the tune in my head so the slow speed enabled me to follow fingering.
Please share the sheet music for that song you played before jig of slurs. I know that you composed it yourself and it sounds really good.
This is very inspirational. I've wanted to learn to play a bagpipe for yeas, but have to struggling to decide what kind.
Start off with practice chanter. Look online for the green book. Most pipers start off with that. Don’t worry too much about what bagpipes just yet.
Chasing the Storm is my favourite tune in this set - it's on my list of new tunes to learn. Do you happen to sell sheet music for it?
Hi absolutely beautiful sound from those smallpipes. Can you share the makers info?
Shepherd pipes got it
I love D tuning. Neil young uses double D
nice
Very nice. It's nice when you can also get a friend to film you, something I should seriously consider if I ever make another video. Although I mainly listen to your videos while at work, it's nice to take a break and take in the choreography as well. I have obviously lived under a rock for the last several years because this video is not new, yet it's new for me. Very smooth and even tone, indicators that you're blowing is very steady too. Question: are you using any moisture control system in those mouth blown shepherds? Blackwood drones and chanter with plastic reeds? I've got one of their mouth blown sets, in D, and I was wondering if you've ever switched to a zippered bag with an MCS in there, or if you find it's necessary. Thanks for you response! ♪～(´ε｀ )
Hi Ian. No moisture control used here with the pipes. They usually stabilize well with the plastic reeds after 10 minutes of playing. Synthetic bag as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed it and hope to see videos from yourself coming soon.
😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏽
I used to play the warpipes but have never played the smallpipes. Are the fingering and grace notes the same?
yes
I think this my favorite video of yours. What is the tune before the Jig Of Slurs?
Its a tune I wrote called chasing the storm!
@@griffinthepiper A very nicely crafted tune it is!
@Griffin Hall did you create that tune from Mo Ghille Mearh?
great sound and very lovely done!!! Can you share the name of the maker of the pipes ? thank you
Where do I find this kind of pipes? I’d love to play them.
Played a set of smallpipes in D once while at a display for a pipe band supply store, the wee chanter just didn't work with my hands.
You should show the tunes in the set
How is this bagpipe called? Where to get? :)
It's a smallpipe. :) Same playing as the ghbp.
No Ghile Mear
Please will you post tune list?
First tune is "My Gallant Hero" ruclips.net/video/zxjvNUNXhkU/видео.html
Wich tune are you playing at 1:20?
What's the tune around 2:30-2:40 called? I've heard it before and never found out the name
Jig of slurs
@@aaroningram181 thank you!
Is there written music for the first tune?
I bet there is! I’m not sure what Griffin calls it, but I recognize the tune from an Irish Gaelic song called, “Mo ghile mear.” Happy hunting!
Suas e!
Cane reeds?
It sounds like the chanter is in A. But lovely playing though.
Victor Sacharov The tunes are in D maj though.
In D?
The chanter is in A but the tunes are in D
It's killing me that I can't remember the name of that last tune.
Saint Anne's Reel
Ah! That's it.
One of those I've accompanied a bunch but couldn't seem to remember the name of. Thanks!
@@DrDutch22 Often paired with "the teetotaler"
@@iansmith5196 maybe I'll try both of them out. I've been practicing on a set of smallpipes about a month and adding tunes to the list as they come under my fingers. There are about 12 at the moment.
@@DrDutch22 I wish you all the best with the practicing and playing Andrew. Enjoy !
I bought a set of Shepherd in D and could not play them. The chanter was arranged very oddly, the lowest note was too far down to reach with my finger. not sure why anyone would design bagpipes in such a weird way....
