I have to agree not just here but many solo players are just destroyed by poor guitar playing. This guy has no idea of the tune but is trying to ad lib as he goes along and destroys Cillian's playing.
Music for peace, music from Ireland the green country. Davy Spillane is one of best representative of irish traditional tunes. Sensitive, virtuose, poetic and open to modern sounds musician. A totally accomplished uillean pipes and low flute soloist.
It's easy to forget how amazing Cillian really is. The thousands of hours he's put into this instrument is hard to comprehend. We're watching something that, in the old days, people would travel miles to see and hear. I can only speculate that some of those ornamentations are not easily done, yet he does them so flawlessly. There are few like him.
Best music video EVER! I’ve heard it hundreds of times over the last 8 years and never get tired of it. If anything it gets better all the time! Thank you so much Cillian and Alan!
The fluttering fingers, the flashing triads in perfect compound time, hitting all the triplets in effortless gracing he played to us a very old stream of sound. To be set free is to sit still and listen.
i know how you feel.. i play this at least once a week first thing in the mornin...it gives me a feeling of well being and positive energy.. i then go out to get some of my wife's honey-do list done..lol
@@SC-hk6ui funny you should say that.. i have a studio here with drums, bass, keyboards, 6 and 12 string guitars and vocals...i like to play the pipes over my sound system too bud.. it's really awesome.. do you play as well?
Cillian Vallely is one of the few, true masters of the uilleann pipes and a longtime member of the great traditional Irish band Lúnasa. (If you ever get a chance to see them post-Covid don't even think about it - just GO.) I never tire of listening to this gorgeous performance of The Lark in the Morning (jig) and Gorman's & Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel (reels). Hats off to Alan Murray for his tasteful guitar accompaniment too. Thanks to IMT for posting this and a great big howdy to all of the good folks at HMT in Takoma Park. 💖
I listen to a lot of pipe music on RUclips and this is one of the best. It's got the wildness of Seamus Ennis and the sense of a breeze blowing through it. Magical - musically accomplished without losing its connection with the Celtic spirit.
I can hardly guess what the guy who once invented the uilleann pipes was thinking... "Hmm let´s see: We have a chanter you have to use both hands to play it. We have that left elbow pumping the bellows, the right elbow to controll the bag pressure to switch chanter octaves. The right knee to place the chanter on, where you have to (of course) occasionally lift it up from. So, how could I make this instrument any more difficult to play? Oh I know! Let´s invent some extra pipes you have to play with your right wrist and make them nearly imposible to keep in tune!" xD What a diabolic genius!
The pipes are actually not meant for human use. They are a relic from a time when three-armed aliens walked the earth - if you've got an extra arm, all the regulator work is a lot less demanding =P
+DAOFB This made me laugh. Thanks! It's odd enough for someone to invent it, but for people to consequently (to try and) play it even more so. You must be a bit mad, or in love with the sound, or better yet both.
I'm an intermediate Uilleann piper and started playing Lark in the Morning after being inspired by this video. It's a difficult tune; getting the rhythms right in the 3rd part is very hard. Kudos to Cillian for this sterling performance!
My mother’s family came to the US from Ireland. I usually don’t think much of it until I hear music like this. It’s amazing how much simple blood heritage can make you long to see a place you’ve never before seen with your own eyes. All it takes is JUST the right trigger.
This is an awesome piece of traditional Irish music played at a high level of perfection, that ignites ones spirit performed Cillian Vallely and Alan Murray
I just happened to hear a version by Fairport Convention that I wasn't too keen on...I knew that I've heard and I could find better. Immediately thought of Lunasa and wondered if they had a version out... alas couldn't find anything...stumbled upon this video that was filmed near my old town so I thought I'd click to support these "boys"... needless to say I melted at the Quality... only near the end did I look at the screen and comments and title and realize who I found after all! ♡ Haha the heart and ears know!
Absolutely classic. Fabulous playing boys. I keep replaying it. The pipe sound is awesome. Don't pay attention to the 110 down thumbers. They are clearly not musicians and do not deserve the pleasure of listening to you. Either that ir they play the Moron pipes and badly.
This is part of the music of the spheres. It carries your spirit to the end of the universe and back. Here in Ireland when we had no material wealth we had this and this kept us alive.
Fantastic sound. Very well-miked so the sound comes through very clear, very well-balanced. Mix between guitar and pipes is spot on too! Pipes sound great!
I keep coming back to this. It was the first time I really listened to the uilleann pipes, and I fell in love with them. This piper is amazing! His mastery of the pipes is astonishing and his sense of rhythm is perfect.
The first REAL Irish music I heard when my brother came back from a business trip to Dublin where he had heard the Rafters at the Abbey Tavern. On the night he was there, they had two girls from Melbourne singing with them. He bought their record back and these pipes were unbelievable. As was the whole disc which is still my favourite - The Rafters Ring out at the Abby Tavern.
My mom’s funeral is tomorrow. This is the only comfort I have. Remembering her free spirit and Irish soul.
Hello lovely human, don't forget to catch the sun today. ❤
acompaño en sentimiento. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, pueda Dios dar descanso a su alma.
May she rest in deserved peace sympathies from the Shamrock shore Ireland
As I get older, other types of music just fade away, but this speaks to my very soul.
Brilliant
very well said,sir.
Well said and very true
yes
Its because your irish, this music is in our blood frm generations past..its in our ether.
My Mom passed a year ago. I played this imagining it was the freeing of her spirit. I still get tremendous comfort listening to it.
Condolences, I pray her soul is in peace
Mine too. She loved trad music. Beautiful tune.
That's very sweet. Made me cry.
This is the best. It is, and will be, such rembrance of my soul that maybe.
Sad but beautiful ❤
It's just ridiculous how good this is. Heaven. I'm in heaven.
The piper is great, but the guitarist CRUSHES it!!!

As a Newfoundlander, I cant help but stomp my foot. We share a very similiar culture, the pipes in any form will always speak to me.
Your ancestors.
Same people.
Best music video EVER! I’ve heard it hundreds of times over the last 8 years and never get tired of it. If anything it gets better all the time! Thank you so much Cillian and Alan!
Irish whiskey
Something about Irish uilleann pipes that it gives your soul and being Irish myself love it

Cillian is definitely one of the best uillean pipers in the world today. That Lark in the Morning was something!
YEP, THAT LARK WAS SOARING .
Genius. One of the best pipers I have ever heard.
awesome
Probably the greatest single piece of Uilleann Piping, ever, by anyone, anywhere.
Agree
It's up there.
Has to be some of the happiest piping tunes I've heard..
Superb. What about some thumbs up for that fantastic and sensitive accompaniment?
Great guitar player
Man I never get tired of hearing this
i know how you feel.. i play this at least once a week first thing in the mornin...it gives me a feeling of well being and positive energy.. i then go out to get some of my wife's honey-do list done..lol
Me too, I have played it a thousand time and it just continues to amaze me.
Nope. Not ever.
@@SC-hk6ui funny you should say that.. i have a studio here with drums, bass, keyboards, 6 and 12 string guitars and vocals...i like to play the pipes over my sound system too bud.. it's really awesome.. do you play as well?
Absolutely amazing! Peace for the soul...Thanks sooo much!
Reminds me so much of the late great Liam O Flynn RIP.
Meine Seele freut über solch eine tolle fülle von tönen und Harmonie!!! Es gibt doch noch lebenswertes in all dem Chaos auf verrückten Erde
I can't stop listening to this. What a piper!

Uillean pipes just lift your very soul
Uillean Pipes, Great Highland Bagpipes, each special, each amazing to wake up to.

Go h-íontach ar fad.
One of the most beautiful performances on the uilleann pipes ever. Cillian Vallely (Lunasa) is a true virtuoso!
Impeccable piping and impeccable guitar playing lve never heard the likes of them both
I listen to a lot of pipe music on RUclips and this is one of the best. It's got the wildness of Seamus Ennis and the sense of a breeze blowing through it. Magical - musically accomplished without losing its connection with the Celtic spirit.

Hands down the best version of lark in the morning i have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I tip my hat to you! Bravo!! wow!
That Capo shift - wow!
right????
Absolutely brilliant,,,put on your dancing shoes!
She's a smooth clean player
Virtuoso performance, worthy of a wide audience! Fantastic sound and musicianship!
Unusually spot on intonation, among his many other strengths.

Many of our greatest musicians and singers moved to the USA.
Wow! I think this is the best Piper I have ever heard!!🍀🇮🇪
👍 👍
This is going to be my outro after my wedding ceremony this year. Soooo many emotions attached to these instruments.
A very cool set to have playing you out of the chapel.
Just really pure music. Words cannot describe. Does good for the soul.
Yes, words can't describe............
The chirping and yipping sounds amaze and delight me!
I never tire of hearing this. Cillian is truly a Top Class musician. He makes his pipes sing 🎶.
Just heard my first lark of the year today. This is really a fitting and masterly way to honor the beautiful music from the sky. Wonderful
LOVE for ALL to my IRISH BROTHERS and SISTERS!!!
AMAZING MUSIC , SO, SO, SO SPIRITUAL....
wowsers, a privilege just to watch
How wonderful!! Uillieann pipes takes you to another zone!
yep, not like fucking electrinic pipes. you suck!
Yes, the Freedom zone!
True. I have been talking from that zone for the last 30 years 😂
One of my favorites on Irish pipes
this tune does not get any less amazing each time I bring it up..
Wonderfull bless from god
Love Uileann pipes and I'm delighted i got this video recommended to me. Cillian is incredibly talented and this solo is a masterpiece
I LOVE YOU Cillian!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful it goes straight to your heart beautiful music.
Was at a tekno party Saturday night. Here I am Monday hearing this piped music and it so good 😊 these guys are amazing 🤩 top of morning 🌄
This is an awesome piece of traditional Irish music played at a high level of perfection, that ignites ones spirit performed Cillian Vallely and Alan Murray
Totally S+U+P+E+R+N+A+T+U+R+A+L!!! .... What the entire world should LISTEN to!
Quickest capo change ever! Sehr gut!! Schoene Muzik!
I just happened to hear a version by Fairport Convention that I wasn't too keen on...I knew that I've heard and I could find better.

The pipe sound is awesome.
Don't pay attention to the 110 down thumbers.
They are clearly not musicians and do not deserve the pleasure of listening to you.
Either that ir they play the Moron pipes and badly.
WHAT AN AMAZING MUSIC !
TO BE SURE THIS IS THE MUSIC OF HAVEN.
in addition to the incredible musicianship, I love how Alan handles the key change at 4:13 by taking only a couple of beats to move the capo
kills me every time!
A million views, amazing!! I've seen him in person three times! Deserving of all the views..
Always in exile. Wherever I am.
Soul of a piper...
I came across this randomly like two weeks ago and now i listen to this like everyday.
This is part of the music of the spheres. It carries your spirit to the end of the universe and back.
Here in Ireland when we had no material wealth we had this and this kept us alive.

Sit here, in the morning, sun 🌞 on my back, eating simple good food, listening to simple good music ..aaaahhhh, life is good. Thank you.
