History:
This tune was written as a lament for Scots that were killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Although the original words are unknown, the melody was recorded in c. 1615-25 in the John Skene of Hay
yards Manuscript as "Flowres of the Forrest." Song of the Isles.
Dark Isle Piper Remarks:
This moment playing the Bagpipes in Glencoe was extraordinary. The Sun rays were dancing and giving the sense of joy and peace where there was once great tragedy. The way the pipes mournfully echoed in this Glen had a sense of remembrance. In memory of the terrible tragedy that occurred in this Glen back in 1692 on February 13th in the early morning hours between the MacDonald and Campbell Clans. I felt it was the perfect tune for the moment. Remembering the Fallen MacDonald Chief, 33 Men, 2 Women and 2 children.

Dear Dark Isle Piper, you have performed this most sublime piece so movingly and wonderfully. My dear wife, Kathleen, a Scot, sadly passed away last year on St. Andrew's Day, 30th November, after several months of acute illness. We were married for 27 years and lived in Lancashire, England but it was always Kathleen's wish to return again to dwell in Scotland. I'm sad that I couldn't make that happen in her lifetime, but on her passing I had her repatriated for her funeral and burial in Alexandria, Dunbartonshire. I organised a piper to play a lament for her as I and my brothers in law carried her coffin into the family parish church, having chosen Flowers of The Forest after looking for a suitable piece while searching You Tube. It is here that I discovered your channel and your wonderful performance in such a fabulous setting. It has been nearly three months since Kathleen passed, but in that time I have listened to your piece over and over again, as I do your others. It reminds me of her identity as a Scot and I celebrate her in my memory of her even though I mourn. Hearing this played often brings me floods of tears but it brings me comfort to know that Kathleen rests in her beloved homeland in Scotland as she would have wished. Thank you so much ❤❤❤

I come back only to weep again, because this reminds me that I am human. This music enables you to actually see down through the corridor of time, to see beautiful things, and very painful things too. It's not something that can easily be put into words, or described in language. It's utterly moving, and it tears you gently apart.

I cannot explain why, when I hear a lament played on the pipes, it breaks my heart. I was born a Yorkshire woman and I am proud of that, but learned only recently that I have some deep family roots in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (WoooHoooo!) so maybe that is an explanation. I get such a visceral wave of sadness as soon the pipes begin and always have. It could just be very skilful playing by the musicians of course. I love Scotland anyway. 😊

I'm an American with most of my DNA coming from England, Ireland and Scotland before 1700. Something deep in me hears that song and feels the need to come back home after over 300 years of roaming. A home sickness from generations long gone. We here in Appalachia kept much of the music and traditions alive passed down from generations.before.

@user-ys5yv2nz6w 3 года назад

Generally speaking Appalachian people are more of Ulster Protestant/Lowland Scots heritage, which was more of a culture rooted in the Anglosphere, rather than the Gaelic cultural sphere of Ireland and the Highlands where piping music is associated with, but appreciation for good music isn't limited to your DNA.

cuhurun Thankyou so much for your kind words. Before I go, I’ll be taking my pipes to the college of piping in Glasgow, to have someone get them in tip top playing order with easy reeds because I’ve not got the puff I once had. They are R.G.Laurie’s made around 1900 and sound superb when tuned. They deserve the very best I can do in their memory.

@cuhurun 6 лет назад

@@jazzman1626 I'm just amazed you have pipes played that long ago, and during such a time and place as the Somme battlefield... it's just staggering ! I do my best to get a tune out of an old (but not as old as your pipes) chanter my grandad gave me, but have never had the lung capacity to really play, let alone get a set of pipes humming. Reckon I'll forever have to rest in the knowledge there are always good pipers out there whose skills I can sit back and enjoy. Also, makes me a bit sad to think the Argyles and Southerns were disbanded back around 2006, makes those pipes of yours even more precious. I really do hope you make it to France and play. Perhaps oneday, when you return you might add a message to this thread, just to let us folks know. Perhaps even better, if you could video the event and post it here on youtube, that would really be a sight to behold. Cheers !

In 1513 The Scottish army led by James 1V was crushingly defeated by the English army of Henry VIII. This tune commemorates the loss of the many young men slain on Flodden field. The Flowers of the forest are all wede awa. Nowadays this tune is traditionally played on Remembrance day and at military funerals. Lovely rendition.

I grew up in the Chicago area and had a friend whose parents were from Scotland. They would spend the summers in Glasgow and Aberfeldy. I went along with them when I was 16. My friend and I purchased a Brit Rail Pass and traveled to Stonehenge to Wick and everywhere in between. I was awestruck by the experience. Scotland imparted in me this magical feeling that has stayed with me into my 50’s. Hearing your music and seeing the raw beauty of the landscape intensifies that feeling and puts me in a “Happy Place”. Great job and your talent is Greatly Appreciated.

Remember seeing my first piper, when I was about 8 or 9 and me late Dad was up in Scotland with the foresters and he said to Mum, why don't you come with the kids, so he took the cases and we went on the coach and spent 3 weeks there. I never wanted to come back. When I heard the Pipe and drums, from that day, was hooked. R.I.P Dad/Mum for such a good memory.

''Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly , Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down, Did the band play the last post and chorus, Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.''

Beautiful soulful sound that can can only be made by the Scottish Celt. It has taken many years to focus my attention from stories of my childhood and youth. My mothers family are Scottish Clan Kennedy. Now I know why the Bagpipe has always without fail, put a lump in my throat and a deep pride in my heart.
