I remember as a young boy first hearing pipes falling in love with the pipes wishing whenever id hear a piper play that they would hold or sound the notes longer i never would have known back then i was craving the sound of Piobrach later in life i learned to play but unfortunately the chances of learning it from anyone on the ireland of ireland are very slim its beautiful to hear it connects now as it did when inwas a boy with my soul
Wow, thanks for this piece, I have subscribed. Born in Renfrew and taken to Australia when I was young. Ive been learning the pipes over the past year and I just loved this interview.
So happy I stumbled across this video! I love playing piobaireachd and listening to it. Really interesting information and history. I really enjoyed the emotions associated with the notes. It's amazing what you can do with nine notes lol! Great video and thanks for posting!
@@JamesRattray yes!😁 I watched them, thanks so much! (they are all in different wether 😀), I knew pipes were not standardized in the beginning but his storytelling spices it with so much information and interesting facts. I’ve heard also that bellowed musette pipes from here, France, had also floated and influenced the Scottish environment at one point. PS I was looking for the next video but it’s cool to know it’s in editing stage, looking forward!
@@RosssRoyce We shot all one and a half hours on the same day, in one long cold session. The editing takes time, also the information was quite detailed, so we felt it was better to break the video up in to parts. Thank you for commenting and glad you watched them. Thank you.
Awesome instructional/educational/ teaching video! When he explained (the words on the screen) Anyways, the “air” is the chorus & the “ground” is the verse makes sense & it makes it much easier for this American brain to comprehend.
Ken, I am not sure if you are aware the links to the other parts of Stuart's presentation are in the text below the video. Stuart has spent very considerable amount of time preparing and sharing his knowledge of the pipes with us, for which I am sure we are all very grateful. I found it all fascinating and learnt so much too.
@@JamesRattray I agree, I found myself extremely interested in the music, music theory and of the history. There was a lot, I didn’t know. Thanks for this awesome presentation and I’m going to checkout the other links below, thanks!
Hi everyone, I'm diggin this music so much. I've learned the pipes with the Arguil n Sutherland back in England, Barking. I was walking in the arranger n I heard pipes music. I stayed there listening for à while by the door, feeling deeply emotional. Eventually, I pushed the door open. That's how it all started. I was ever so motivated, soon enough I went on to play the highland pipes. We had great time playing many events such as marching on the streets, commemorations, chapels, funerals, and Last but not the least, went ovet to Normandy and payed respect to the D day fallen on the beaches. Went on to play in front of Pegasus Bridge too. We also played in cemataries. I still remember ours pipe Major playing for à camarade who fell during the Battle of Normandie. He had tears in his eyes. We couldn't see him but when He'd finished and turned to us, tears were dropping from his eyes. I stopped playing years ago, I'm so s'adresse about it. This music has been part of me all my life. Back then when I was six, as my dad had just died, I happened to hear à pipes and drums band. That was during the Interceltic festival in Lorient, Brittany. They were marching the packed streets. I will always remember that day.. Thanks for reading me lads! Take care
Thank you for your feedback. I have now added the links to each part in the text below each section. We have another part to come which I have to edit and pass Stuart before it is published. I hope this will be completed no later than the end of April 2022. Thank you for taking the time to feed back your excellent comments.
“Long live Robert the Bruce, Marjorie Stewart and House Stuart!” Lol, I’m kidding people, don’t take yourself so seriously :) I’m here because I heard Annie Lennox talk about this particular type of Bagpipe playing , being a history buff & huge Robert the Bruce fan, I couldn’t help myself.
