Yeah Im born here in Canada. though I got some family in the old country and learned to play pipes. Scotland is all I think about and long for a trip to see it. Though Canadian highlands are also so beautiful and amazing! This tune brings it all to !
Kinlochmoidart's Lament is one of the most musically accessible piobaireachds to modern ears. Much of the piobaireachd repertoir is, to say the least, an aquired taste, and some tunes I still don't understand after 40 years of listening to and playing the music. This, however, I think could be give pleasure to someone who is hearing piobaireachd for the first time.
Insightful - never thought of it that way. I was hardly a child, but I have listened to piobaireachd sets since I was a teenager - must have been young enough for the ears to accept the sound without noticing.
@Glenzboyz. I really want to thank you for your postings. I listen to your recommendation several times a week and enjoy them all. I am a tried and true Scot-o-phile and have such a pull on my soul from Scotland. Why both sides of my family ever left there I will never understand!
Searching for laments after the heartbreaking burial of the wee lassie on Vatersay today, murdered in Manchester. Poignant and somehow quitening, thank you.
This lament was composed in memory of Donald MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart who was executed at Carlisle in 1746 for his share in the Jacobite Rebellion. Donald joined Prince Charles Edward Stuart, who visited him in his house at Kinloch-Moidart, and, at the head of a faithful band of a hundred of his retainers, accompanied the Prince throughout the whole campaign
Aye, tis a shameful thing, to lose a loyal friend. MacDonald, clan of loyalty and bravery, dear to my family you shall always be. My surname may be English, but my heritage includes the house of Stuart. I was not alive for the Jacobite rebellion. But I know that I speak for Prince Charlie, when I say that each MacDonald who fell, lent shockwaves to the earth where The Bonnie Prince stood. Fair certain, every single Scotsman who died as a result, was felt with each breath he took. His drinking and carousing were testament, aye... but he never lent sight of the pain to others. This lament was never really enough to express his grief. If you're interested in what kills a king, the answer is watching your loyal friends and brothers in battle die, for no gain. Maybe someday the clan of Stuart can live up to the expectations of our kin. I know that I try, but I am too distant in relation to garner support to claim the throne, and I am an American born. Still, one might hope that a distant cousin will stand up and do it right in honor of the brave ones that went before.
@@Rusty170027 No. I'm actually of the Stuart line. I don't watch game of thrones. I'm a Patriot and have too much to do in my life, to sit and watch some CBS tv show.
@@Rusty170027 as I can see, you are educated enough to know that people do still talk like this, when they are being genuine and heartfelt. Also, I am educated enough to know you are attempting to troll me. Well done! A round of applause for our lonely and sexually frustrated friend, folks! He has fought valiantly, and shall retire in his shame. Yes, I'm an American. I do not hold to stereotype, but heritage. Long live the Bonnie Scots! And dash to the insolent! By Hammer! You do not hold me, sir! And I shall comport myself as I always have- a man of small means and high character.
This music is quite impressive!!! And so are your beautiful photo's! Thank you for this very special virtual visit to Scotland. All the best from the Netherlands, Maria:-)
Thanks for this Glenzboyz, your videos are always good with views of this beautiful country..... I am currently learning the pipes and doing quite well and 1 day I will be as good as this.... This tune "wid bring a tear tae a gless eye"
Thank you for these wonderful moments. Wonderful music - wonderful pictures. I have tears in my eyes. Soon I will be back and I will enjoy every minute together with this wonderful land! :-)
I remember one of the most impressive intros to a TV programme was its opening by a soulful lament played to the panning of a ruined castle in silhouette. It lasted about 3 minutes with no interruption. At its end the first scene was something totally ridiculous. The programme? An episode of the comedy The Avengers. An inspired mixing of the sublime with the ridiculous and entirely memorable.
This appears to be version #1 but he skips the dithis singling and skips both taurluath variations completely and goes straight to the crunluath singling. Result is a still very pleasing condensed version. I imagine the full version runs about 12 or 13 minutes long.
@glenzboyz Mum Passed away 5 years ago Dad in 1994. In our family we were raised listening to the Pipes and Drums of Scotland. We are a Highland Family from Skye Mull and Iona. we have Highlander in our Blood and Jacobites from long ago
beautiful!! i waj just up at pitlochry the other day and i went to Queens view to visit my granny because she was scattered there and i never knew why but then i seen it....wow...brought a tear to my eye :')
They back then were quite lively! Because there was no radio, tv, or computer's. The "Art Of Conversation" really was an art mastered by only the whittiest type's! Back then, the (Man of whit!), was the center of the party!
Glen I wish my Mum was still alive to see your videos should would have loved them and the Music. My Mum came from Tomlivolin (Not sure of the spelling)
here lay's the melody of sorrow with a mist of hope for to tomorrow as in our souls we nay bother with heartless stand aginst the beast who treads upon our love think no more the of them in the aftermath MTGray
I’m in with the president of America and he half Scottish and been sharing them with him god bless you man I’m loving these and I’m from England 🏴
Just amazing. I never felt like trying Piobaireachd until I heard this... Just out of curiosity; shouldn't there be one more variation (I'm not sure about the name - for sure it contains crunluath and something else :-) ) after the urlar at the end is played?
Nothing is played after the reprise of the Urlar, ever. You may be thinking of the Crunluath a Mach, which can be played after the Crunluath/Doubling and before the reprise. However, this tune has a “breabach” style Crunluath which cannot be played with an a Mach. This recording skips the singling of the first variation, as well as the singling and doubling of both the Taorluath and the Tripling. So this recording has: 1. Urlar, 2. Doubling of 1st variation, 3. Crunluath singling 4. Crunluath doubling, 5. Return to Urlar.
why is it lament I was in Scotland Dundee 1989 therefore I'm Scottish and proud to be and it's lamont I moved to Manchester England in 2003 been in Manchester nearly all my life but I do go by to Scotland when I can I love my country and my clan lamont
+weefateflla Yir dialect makes this Canuck lass stumble to her knees. Two clans--120 years ago, my father's family came via Scotland, then Ireland, to the New World, but my soul, it seems, never left. Slan!
Hier findet der Laie kein Rhythmus oder Melodie hier wird nur auf die Weise des Spielens geachtet, vor allem auf die kurzen Zwischentöne die gespielt werden , um die Töne zu unterbrechen. Für Dudelsackspieler ein echter Hochgenuss.
My maternal grandparents were from Scotland. I loved them dearly and miss them so much. Every time I hear the pipes I get emotional.
even though i am not Scottish i just love bag pipe music.it goes deep under your skin and always give me goosebumps. VERY NICE
A wonderful piece of music, brings tears to my eyes, and makes the hairs on my arms stand-up... thank you for this upload.

This the epitome of music for the Great Highland Bagpipe. Beautifully played on a stunning instrument.

Good interpretation. Thanks again for posting these. Who's the individual piper?
PS 6, p 187 for those interested in studying it...
does someone have the sheet music to send me?
or some tips to play it well?
Hi, I'd really like to know which album this tune and Glencoe come from
thanks

Lament is the type of tune, usually written in remembrance for a person or battle
+Lizzy Lamont piobaireachds are usually laments, as fintan said, they´re written in rememberance, they usually have beautiful stories behind
+weefateflla Yir dialect makes this Canuck lass stumble to her knees. Two clans--120 years ago, my father's family came via Scotland, then Ireland, to the New World, but my soul, it seems, never left. Slan!

lament a memorial to a sometimes sad occasion Lamont is a clan name a whole different haggis
