- A most beautiful piece of Gaelic music, known as "Duncan MacRae of Kintail's Lament" in Scotland, and as "March of the King of Laoise" in Eire.
Played firstly by Allan MacDonald; then taken up by P/M Terry Tully (both great musical inspirations); then finally by the entire St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band, whose concert it was at the Royal Glasgow Concert Hall on 11th August 2010. Three days later, the band went on to win the Worlds at Grade 1.
What wondrous music!!
It was filmed using the new high-def Panasonic HS700. - Hudba
I don't care I'm if the last person on earth who feels this but I'm proud to be Irish and a descendant of the ancient Celts
What's not to like here? The setting is very traditional, the tempo stately, the pipes are good-going, and the musicians at the top of their game and led by a master bandsman.
Simple, beautiful tune.... And absolutely riveting.
Wow.
This is truly beautiful, a really nice rendition of a lovely irish tune... thanks SLOT
O tha! That is stunning.
Another message from me to EVERYONE: they are making a DVD of this concert - it's going to be great (different camera angles, better sound quality etc), so do look out for it when it comes out next year!! I intend to be one of the first to buy it!
Thanks for posting!!
I found this tune sounds very nice on the Scottish Small Bagpipe or the Great Highland Bagpipe. Just ❤️ the music and the band. No matter how many times I repeated the playing. Especially hearing Allan MacDonald plays the piobaireachd introduction.
😊
I layed blocks with Terry Tully once apon a time ,he's as handy with a trowel as a set of pipes, bonus is I'm a Laois man myself love this tune
And Terry is a very nice man too. 🇮🇪
many thanks for posting, they are just amazing, talent pure talent. amazing sound,......
No matter how de is dressed, Allan MacDonald is a Living National Treasure of the Scottish people. He is a Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties.
High A tuning is important in this baby! Cool tune
That was something else.Thanks for sharing
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
wow is all I can say. thanks for this post
@halo2pc Thanks halo2pc! Surely, God's own music ! The Queen's got her own piper (not a guitarist, not a flautist, not a pianist etc!!) - and many folk tell me how emotional/spine-tingling the sound of the pipes is: should be everyone's favourite!! The human voice and the pipes are the best sounds there are. (Now, I've just got to convince Simon Cowell!!) Bob
@pmbear It's both a Scottish AND an Irish tune - presumably they both have shared roots.
passionate and epic!
Well played gentlemen!
❤❤❤❤❤💚🕊
Thanks, Faziah - I am happy that you like it !
@piperbob2 I'd say yes and so do the people, so it all follows suit ;-) Thanks for posting this chief
3:07 I just want to scream hell yeah!
I just want to go play now but it's 1 in the morning..
@Cionaodh57 To have such a link as that, must make this piece of music even more poignant for you.
I've always loved this since I first heard Alan MacDonald play it on the National Piping Centre's 3rd Recital Series Volume 2 CD (Alan MacDonald and Gordon Walker) and years later on BBC's "Highland Sessions": to hear it played in concert by the band that was to be crowned the World Champion, three days later, is phenominal !
And for me it's... Scott's mania! Come on Scots!

I want to die to this music, with a nacho crusted chicken sandwiche in on hand, a Guiness extra Foreign export in the other and Megan fox on my.....well you get the picture.
That's the best time to play the pipes ! (just not for the neighbours !)

Am I out of line here? or did that guy forget his uniform?
That guy is Allan MacDonald, Gaelic music scholar and piper.
He was there as a guest musician.
+spettro9 Yes, and he needs no uniform. ;-)
They played the top hand quite quiet and they played it in 2/4 time instead of 6/8 time.

Is the extra percussion really needed?
mighta ruined it...
Appreciate other instruments
A pity sound is far too much low in voume.
The camera and microphone were filming from up in the balcony; but it's not that quiet, surely ?
When I put the volume at maximum just can hardly listening to Allan, well I mean this is just like the sound of a quiet instrument but not a bagpipe...or it is me?
Why does the first guy look like he just rolled out of bed or something?
I wish i could play the Pipes like him, he can dress as he likes, he is top notch.
@@uilliam52I do too, it’s just funny
This tune is not suited to Scottish pipes. It was conceived for Irish Úileann pipes. Less harsh, more melodic.
I disagree - it sounds fine on the highland pipes. There's nothing harsh or less melodic about the Highland pipes - powerful, piercing and emotional, yes. N.B. I don't think that the tune could have been conceived for the uilleann pipes as we know them today, since the tune is many hundreds of years old, and the uilleann pipes (pipes of the elbow), have only been around over the last 100 years or so, as a development of the pastoral pipes which date back to around 1743 in Ireland. The tune could have been originally been played on the Great Irish warpipes, which are akin to the Scottish Highland pipes (a single drone up to about the year 1500, then two drones up to about 1700 and then the three drones as we know them today). I am not a historian - I only know what I have read or been told. N.B. I love the sound of the uilleann pipes too, but they are very quiet and, without amplification, are only suited to playing indoors in a small room.
