André Rieu - Highland Cathedral REACTION! 

If this was Scotlands national anthem they’d definitely get the players more hyped for their matches 😀

If they don’t play this at my funeral I’m not going

As a Canadian of Scottish decent, I've pre selected this piece as the opening music for my funeral.

So emotional. 7 years ago we traveled through Scotland, for 2 months. Those fantastic people, the nature, the bagpipes, the highlands, I miss this country.

This wonderful tune was played on my best pipes @ my dear wife's funeral. She always loved to hear it when my band played it! I used to play it @ home many times on my practice chanters. A great tribute to my beloved homeland. Pipe major john amderson. Sussex. England.

A truly international performance. A Scottish piece, composed by a German, played by an international orchestra in Holland with Dutch pipers and a Dutch leader.

You looked shell-shocked bro lol. Try Flower of Scotland. Absolutely brilliant. Played both at my late Scottish husbands funeral, you can't get more Scots than Flower of Scotland. Love Andre Reau.

The melody Highland Cathedral was composed in 1982 by the German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb for the Highland Games in Germany.

Andre Rieu & Company - simply marvelous! Your reaction- PRICELESS!!

Love it, I saw him in London brilliant

It also strikes me how at every performance the camera team always finds the most interesting, most amused most touched people in the audience.

This was played at my dads funeral in march full pipies and drums version though no orchestra love this tune ❤

O man. This is as STUNNING as it is BEAUTIFUL. The Dutch/South African SUPER SOPRANO and VOCALIST Amira Willighagen should sing this song together with this UNBELIEVABLE FANTASTIC ORCHESTRA. Would be a WORLD HIT for sure. AMAZING.

Im so happy your interest in Andre Riue... he is the best❤

Love shows itself two ways: laughter and tears.

Words to Highland Cathedral ; Land of our fathers we will always be Faithful and loyal to our own country In times of danger we will set you free bring you to glory and to victory Hail Caledonia to our ancient prayer In this Highland Cathedral let our standards bear Joining together with one dream to share God bless our people of this land so fair Gone is the past let us start anew let this hope of peace always remain Spirit of Scotia be strong and true Then your children will smile again,again,again,again Rise Caledonia let your voices ring In this cathedral of our god and king Whom joy and liberty to all will bring Come let your heart with love and courage sing

I’ve always wanted someone to do this, I pay the piper in princes street Edinburgh to play this very time I’m there. Thank you.❤❤

Sitting here in Glasgow and it's dusty here. You should hear it played by 200 pipers. She is a wonderful musician.

He is on UK TV every Christmas, 3 years ago we went to see him in Maastricht, not my Music, but wow what a night, will go again

No sir you weren't the only one to have that wave of emotions wash over you. It has that affect on me every time I hear this piece of music,more so to this rendition. If I still drank I'd raise a wee dram te ye and wish you guid health,all the way from Aberdeen Scotland.

Fantastic! Fantastic!! We can't let this go by without thanking Andre Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra for entertaining us with another wonderful moment. Andre really knows how to do it, doesn't he? You might enjoy another moment he presented to us a while ago. Jermaine Jackson was an invited guest and he sang a song as a tribute to his recently departed brother, Michael. He sang the classic song, 'Smile'. By the time the song was over there wasn't a dry eye in the house including Andre and Jermaine. I cry every time I go back to see it. In fact, soon as I finish this comment that's exactly where I'm going!

am effin Scottish love my country and the pipes makes me cry

This is another incredible piece of music, and Andre has performed this on a number of occasions, and for the audience at Masstricht this year, this came only minutes after the mind blowing performance of Emma Kok, sensory overload doesn't come close, the pipes and drums marched on through the audience immediately after Emma finished, as I think I've commented elsewhere, Andre is the master at producing incredible shows, and bringing mind numbing experiences to the audiences that are there, another piece that has similar effects, also in this year's show is Bolero, it helps explain why every show he does is a sell out. Your reaction is so appropriate, you're discovering the Magic that Andre has spent 20 years perfecting, and if you're anything like me, it will change you, you'd have to have a heart of stone for it not to. Thank you for being willing to be open about your experience and feelings, and doing what you can to express why you feel that way,

Home is where the heart belongs ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alba Gu Brath 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful video and your reaction ❤ from the netherlands.

As a proud scot i would like to say that this should have been picked as our national anthem - wordsmiths could have composed decent lyrics - so much better for the soul that the god awfull football dirge chant that we do have (well ok its patriotic n aww that but no a patch on this ) and yes i know it wasnt a scot who wrote it but dissnae matter laddie its a belter .

Best piece written since Beethoven. Think germans wrote this one, though. Anyways, as long as the scottish folks like it, it must be alright. Take care and greetings from Gothenburg Sweden.

Wow absolutely love this ❤

This is Scotland's Music God's Country

Bro, you are not alone. This was Hong Kong police official anthem for a long time. It brought me to tears with this performance. Thanks for your reaction.

This one is gives the chills and tears and so beautiful i so Andre Rieu couple of times but this one hit home so close thanks Paul ❣️

Impossível ficar indiferente às melodias do maestro André Rieu..... Obrigada por mais esta partilha. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Highland Cathedral Land of my fathers, we will always be Faithful and loyal to our own country. In times of danger, we will set you free, Lead you to glory and to victory. Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer, in this Highland Cathedral, let our standards bear, Joining together with one dream to share, God bless the people of this land so fair. Gone is the past, let us start anew, Let this hope of peace always remain, Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true, then your children will smile again. Rise Caledonia, let your voices ring in this Highland Cathedral of our God and King, Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring, Come, let your heart, with love and courage, sing.

I am, sitting here with my wife listening who was born a West and her grandfather was born in John West Scottish family home .

The lady on 4:45 she was last evening also at the TV recording from a show that is called Aria (about opera) where i was as well. And just before the recording started, there were a few music nummers with this live version from Highland Cathedral from André Rieu. Then it was sooo coincedence that u recognized that lady and she goes more often to those kind of programmes and concerts she said to me

Always such a amazing show!

Brother, you are doing it right. You give me inspiration after them long days. Your positivity, man,goes miles for me. Keep it going, love what you are doing Brother. Great reactions,one after another. Love the channel. My personal favorite.

saw him in glasgow earlier this year , loved it , so want to go to maastricht to see him , it would be amazing !!

He was in Thailand in 2018 , so I am affraid you will have to wait a while before you can visit an Andre Rieu concert in your country Paul !! regards Bert from the Netherlands

WOW !! thankyou for your reaction !!! Much love XXXX

I love this orchestra. they play all over the world and wherever they are, Andre Rieu chooses some songs that have a meaning for the audience there, whether he plays in Australia, New York or an Italian town. And of course in his hometown Maastricht. The audiences really get moved during these concerts, and let tears roll or dance happily. Emotions, that is what music should bring and Andre makes that happen.

I think that The Netherlands is also the best with making those recordings images for TV/DVD just like with the Eurovision what they did! Do the Dutchies agree with that?

I feel it with this one as well, just like as Amazing Grace, with all the bagpipes together suddenly, april 30th 2013 when Willem Alexander went to be our new King, André Rieu was on the Museumplein (Museumsquare) here in Amsterdam for a free concert and then Amazing Grace came.. i was in tears, and still every time when i watch that piece again

That is an amazing version . Highland Cathedral also used to be the Anthem for the Royal Hong Kong police and they played it along with the last post in 1997 at the last flag lowering of the British Union flag at government house Hong Kong basically ending British Hong Kong .

Beautiful goosebumbs

Have you seen his show in Tel Aviv where they played Jerusalem of gold? If not, you should….

BRAVO!!!

Everything Andre and his orchestra does is amazing. Check out "Belle Ciao".

Beautiful! 🤩

Scotland has adopted this tune as their second anthem

She learned how to play those bagpipes within 2 weeks!! How??

I'm a softy, yet I absolutely love dark dark humor. From what I've learned about you in your videos throughout the years is that you're the same. I was totally going somewhere with my comment, but I'm too stoned so I forgot.... Anywhoooooo...cheers brother. 😉🌷

HXC : gostava de ver uma reação á música " O Fortuna" de Carmina Burana, tocada pelo maestro André Rieu e sua JSO. Obrigada e boa noite.

Wishing you a great weekend ✌️🇳🇱

5 million people are Scottish and 5 billion wanna be Scottish

If you liked this, you should really see Rieu's performance of "You never walk alone" and Sinatra's "My way", the latter being performed for a US crowd in Radio City Music Hall, NYC. At least just as moving as this video. Amazing!

I would love to know what you think of the songs played by Music Show Scotland !

🙏

Beautiful...😊

This should be our National Anthem

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done

Best vocal version is by Will Martin

Do we have to look at "Hat" boy?

I've been in Ukraine 21 months. This is the song that is to be played by a piper if im killed here. 21 months fighting for freedom. Like the words say let the sea carry they're spirits home to where they're fathers lie. Im a fifer. If people know the words they will understand.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇦

and here I tought bag pipes where so awesome they could salvage anything but i guess i underestimated andré if you can trust him with one thing that is to make every piece of music he touches boring and lame

Bet America would love this it's ours not yours
