Bagpipe music: "Scotland the Brave" and "Amazing Grace" back-to-back

[TrojanSkyCop1]

I realize that we've had discussion about "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes within The Christian Warrior Forum, but methinks this rendition here merits its own thread. Here are my two favorite bagpipe songs in consecutive order, conducted by the Dutchman(!) Andre Rieu.. Notice the effects of the music on the audience; it's hard to watch & listen to this without getting a wee bit misty-eyed IMO....

Good post, thanks bro.

[Lucky Jackson]

That was a great performance!

Thanks TSC...

[AlwaysVigilant]

Chills, as per usual. Thanks for the post. Awesome.

I can't see the video, I'll check it out later, but your comments remind me of my grandmother's funeral. My little brother played Amazing Grace on the violin and there wasn't a dry eye present when he finished.

"The Lone Piper" and "Flowers of the Forest" are two laments traditionally played at memorial services. Have a look (and a listen) on YouTube for them and I suspect your eyeballs will start to sweat.

Absolutely Awesome...makes the hairstand up on the back of my neck and my spine stiffen like ice...makes the 1/4 Scott and1/4 Irish in me just want to fix a bayonet on the end of my AR and charge like a crazy man into an ocean of Napoleon's Guards.....or Iranians......or Ghetto Norwegians.....or anybody who threatens GFT for that matter....

Here is a very moving tribute to the Fallen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR87LsmXzBs

I love good pipe playing - I look forward to listening to this once I get away from my work-filtered computer.

The bag pipes always have tugged on my soul like no other instrument.

but nothing matches the ear splitting howl of a newbie piper playing a chanter I think they call it - sounds like two cats being drown in a sack

That was excellent. Well played pipes are one of the most emotive instruments out there.

Outstanding, I've always loved bagpipe music. Notice how the emotional element of "Amazing Grace" doesn't really kick in until the bagpipes do? And "Scotland the Brave" always gives me an urge to fill my hand with sharpened steel.

Och aye, laddie, it makes me want to pick up a Scottish claymore and start slaughtering Englishmen....with all due love and respect for the resident English member of the WT tribe like Anthony, of course! :silly:

Here's another, slightly different approach to those songs. It isn't the best recording, but if you ever get a chance to see the Wicked Tinkers in person, they put on quite a show. And for those wondering, yes that is a didgeridoo that they are playing - based on archeologists having actually located evidence that the ancient Scots may have had them. The one they are playing was actually found by archeologists in Scotland.

Wow! Electrifying.

[cosmotopper]

Long ago and far away Mrs. Cosmotopper and I lived in the Highlands. Most weekends when I was not working we would join the Scots men in their appreciation of the pipes. They often found it necessary to ward off the cold and wet weather with a wee dram. Some days we got quite warm.
One Hundred to two hundred pipers at a time. Nothing like it.
The Edinburgh Tattoo is the sanitized version. Mostly for the tourists.

Gotta love the pipes, greatest killing music ever! Damn, I get wired just thinking of it!

What a god awful racket and I love it and to the best of my knowledge I am not even Scottish although there was a catholic lady named kelly (I assume irish) that was an ancestor from new Brunswick, Canada about 1800.
