- Today we look at 5 essential Piobaireachd embellishments you'll need to get started down this transcendent musical pathway. Taorluaths, Edres, Crunluaths, Cadences, and "Hiharins."

This introduction hits the spot. It's struck at exactly the right tone for nervous beginners.
thank you! glad you enjoyed.
Great, clear lesson. Liked the iClipboard, too. Very helpful.
hi new to the piping watched one of your taorluaths on keep the air in the bagpipes after i did some mantance on my pipes now its a lot easer to play now am not blowing my lungs out thank you oh not with any band as i have dysliexa so ive had to learn on my own once again thank you ( am in the uk )
Most interesting explanation of ornaments - with similarities to Western European Classical Baroque ornamentation, [e.g. symbols used in basso continuo ornamentation]. Love the Erdre...looks like a mordent!! This tutorial might be easier for others to grasp if terms like 4th, 5th 6th were used more frequently since what is being described seems to be a moveable system ( like late renaissance solfege); Under the influence of the Catholic Church during 14C and 15C Celtic cultures ( Eire/ Scotland) Celts received exposure to Italianate musicians (e.g from Rome and Naples). I suspect the physicality of instruments determined ultimately what is chosen as an ornamentation and effected what sounded best for it. Once established and made known, these choices came into a standardised practice which has spread over centuries; Irish Seanois singing "can be" analysed in a similar clinical manner - with comparisons made to Renaissance and Baroque ornamentation practices. But...here is the question worth mooting- what came first - Celtic ornamentation or Italian practices? As the pagan world was conquered and monks travelled, Celtic ornamentation was heard and perhaps incorporated; however thus far, when the history of Western Music [Canonic] has been taught we are told ornamentaiton stems from/ derives from Italianate practices (or the Catholic Empires)...not the other way round. Its rather like letting the English tell the history of Australia and Ireland, you only get the conquerors version! Cheers DJ in OZ
It's the timing on the embelishments !
Nice excellent lesson!! Greetings from Chile
THis was very helpful
This was very educational. I came across a piobaireachd tune called "Sir James of the Isles Lament," and I noticed that that last movement (the hiharin) was something I saw and struggled with, as I only played a traditional D (as per light music) to a birl, only to find out that by doing that made doing the birl more difficult to achieve. I also agree that the crunluath is just a taorluath with an F grace note (at least how I view the eidri). This helped me improve upon my piobaireachd playing, as well as knowing how to play these particular embellishments.
Also, upon listening to some of these piobaireachd tunes on a bagpipe player software, I noticed these movements such as the edri and cadence very often.
Correction: I did not really remember the proper spelling of "edre," but I was close. So yeah, pardon me for making those mistakes.
This helped me, thanks so much
I am just an amateur, a beginner ( 15 years ago I played a bit my Galician Bagpipe..but the bass drone was broken...) and I am really amazed with your channel.
Thanks very much for your help.
Best wishes from Spain
Thank you!
I greatly appreciate your help on these piobaireachd movements. I would like to offer you a little help in return. The "th" at the end of taor luath and crun luath is not pronounced like it is in English. In Gaelic it is pronounced either as an "h" or it is silent. in this case it is silent. They are said more like turloo and crunloo.
Great instructional video. Missing one detail though. I have The College of Piping Tutor 4 (reprint 2007), which says that playing a crunluath from D is slightly different, as you play a b-gracenote instead of the d-gracenote. Is that still true, or is it old fashioned? And if it's still the way to play it, do you have any idea why? I don't see any reason why you can't play a d-gracenote there. Or is it supposed to sound better?
Cheers from The Netherlands.
Hi
what brand of practice chanter reed do you play?
+gbennett69 not sure! Callum Beaumont gave me the one I currently use.
What about when you see the Edre symbol over an F, I take it this is a different ornament?
There's something I don't understand with the "math": on the basic writing of the Taorluath, you wrote a 1/4 note to a 1/8 note, but on its expansion you wrote 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8. This is adding 1/8 to the total length. Does this mean that this kind of embellishment changes the lenght of the final note?
very helpful thanks. your pronunciation can be distracting though.
