Music has power to help us heal and cope with the loss of loved ones. Using the beloved traditional Scottish ballad “The Parting Glass” combined with an original new melody, here is a beautifully paced and sensitive musical memorial with a Celtic flavor. A key element of this work is the use of Highland bagpipes. If a pipe player is not available, this part is cued in multiple parts throughout the band (or use a synthesizer with bagpipe patch). A moving tribute for any memorial.

A little about this piece: One day last year, our 8th grade band director Brian Galaher's life was taken in a very major car crash. He died very young, and all of his students were both shoked and sorrowed. Our highschool band show was dedicated to Brian, and we never forgot the amazing man he was. The other middle school director contacted Michael Sweeny to get this piece commisioned. There was a two year wait, but after Sweeny heard and researched the story, he immediately started working on it and got it done in time for the middle school band concert, as well as our highschool spring concert. This song was dedicated to him.

Sam Wilson true our band director Michael ake told us about him passing your other band director his sister uh I blank on her name bit yeah we are playing this piece this year in his honor

Mac Adams I hope you enjoy playing this piece. Being one of his students and premiering this piece was one of the best experiences of my life. Play it with all you have my man

Sam Wilson We are playing this song in a concert dedicated to one of our euphonium players, Max Raynor, who ended his own life a month or so ago. It's such a beautiful song, and I even have trouble making it through my trombone part without weeping. I understand the emotion associated with this song, and I am glad it seems to perfectly portray what it is attempting to.

@masonfain3869 7 лет назад

Evan Scoggins That's so sad to hear I hope you and your fellow band members have fun and not mourn over his loss but remember the good things it helped me a lot with the loss of our band director

@tobybowling6038 7 лет назад

OMS still very dearly misses Mr.Galaher. The good man will never ever be forgotten.

i know i'm a bit behind, but in my school, every sixth band plays celtic air and dance at their first ever concert, and this song at the final concert. i'm in eighth grade this year and didn't get to play it due to the coronavirus. today would've been our final concert, and it breaks my heart knowing we didn't get to say our final goodbyes properly. our memory will live on at the school forever, and that's what counts.

Something about those bagpipes sends chills down my spine every time I listen to this song

@Nightwolf739 8 лет назад

who else recognized the melodies in this song: Celtic air and dance and Slane.

@TheBigA 8 лет назад

I watched this hoping it would be similar to Sweeney's Celtic air and dance songs, not for it to be an exact copy! Still sounds good

@RoseCadenza 7 лет назад

I only recognized celtic air and dance.

@alexandraprobst9995 7 лет назад

Nightwolf I played Celtic many times for district assessment and all and my concert and I love it .

@phruku 5 лет назад

I think you are referring to the looking glass instead of celtic air and dance, although you are right, it is from celtic air and dance the actual song is called the looking glass.

Going to a Scottish themed school such as highland park, this is a great peace for us to play

@robbierichmond5947 6 лет назад

Nathan Denman don't Google about the story behind it it's tragic

@RockStarOscarStern634 9 месяцев назад

That's cool, there are multiple parts with Bagpipe cue notes which may be played to help reinforce the Bagpipes (or Hurdy Gurdy). The 3 Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, and Bassoon are imitating the Bagpipe Drones (also in the Piano Part for the Left Hand), and then the Flute, Oboe, 1st Trumpet, 2 Alto Saxophones, and 2 French Horns imitate the Bagpipe Chanter (also in the Piano Part for the Right Hand).

I picture in my head one of those old burials where they shoot a boat with the flaming arrow. 3:13 I picture the arrow leaving the bow as those who are gathered to mourn look on with sadness, and respect, and it just knocks me off my feet with the many beautiful scenes this song can portray.

@Diamond-ur1ly Год назад

I tried playing the mallets part on my marimba and it was so fun. I think that people don’t appreciate percussionists that much 😢

@tayam7016 4 года назад

This song is honestly so beautiful. The story behind it holds so much meaning as well. I haven’t played this in band with others but it still holds up its magic even when I’m playing it by myself. I hope I get to play it with others someday.

@brycman2004 5 лет назад

@Tropingenie 8 лет назад

I feel like it sounds better in our band... probably because I play Tuba so all I hear is lower brass XD Edit: Not dissing the other instruments, simply meant that I can't hear how bad the other sections are (we just started this piece, again not dissing other instrument groups)

@infranium1572 7 лет назад

I play tuba too! I wish I wasn't always in the corner tho.

@johnjoseph8333 6 лет назад

@anthonyumbro5427 4 года назад

Im the oboeist and I get stuffed literaly right in front of the brass section and MAN is it loud! I cant even play a single measure of classical music without them blasting in my ears.

@thebagpipingferret9042 3 года назад

Printing this out for our assistant director who’s husband got a job with the U.S NAVY band, this was her only year officially teaching.

The first 20 seconds are just soul-crushingly beautiful and sorrowful, even more so because of Sam Wilson's comment :(

@RockStarOscarStern634 9 месяцев назад

Hal Leonard Concert Band You can actually substitute the Bagpipe w/ Hurdy Gurdy.

@RockStarOscarStern634 6 месяцев назад

You can substitute the Upright Bass with Bass Guitar as it's easier to carry.

@gtran2536 6 лет назад

I highly doubt my school has a bagpipe. Any ideas on how to substitute?

@badynwoodford 5 лет назад

For subsitutions of the Highland Bagpipes, you will see cued notes throughout the score within many parts. Rather than resting, those instruments will serve as your bagpipe player.

@skadihuntress 5 лет назад

mayeb oboe?

@RoseCadenza 7 лет назад

You know how the flute is a C instrument and clarinet is a B-flat instrument. Is the bagpipe an E-flat instrument? Becuase the bagpipe has the same key signature as alto sax and bari sax.

@natew6319 7 лет назад

Hannah the Musician idk I'm a percussionist

@keegansmith6327 7 лет назад

It's more like the Bagpipes don't usually have a key signature. At the key change, when the bagpipes start playing, the Bagpipes don't change key.

@taylorwilliams6866 6 лет назад

Bagpipes never change key, we only have 9 notes lol

@mpemusic4815 4 года назад

The bagpipes are tuned to an A that is slightly sharper than concert pitch B-flat, annoyingly. The A on a modern bagpipe is tuned to about 475 Hz. The key signature for pipes always remains the same, two sharps, because those are the only two notes on the pipe chanter that are sharp, no matter what key the song is in. So, in this piece, when the pipe music shows a D, it sounds E-flat concert pitch.
