Donald MacLeod's Collection Of Piobaireachd, Book 1, Donald MacLeod seems to be the only listed book with the music in it.

[natedog2004]

can you please tell me what they were singing it sounded so beautiful :)

[mocmus]

@natedog2004 - The band is singing vocables that pipers use to teach piobairechd by voice. It is called "canntaireachd."

[natedog2004]

@mocmus if you can send me the lyrics to this wonderful song please let me know!

[argyllclaymor]

@natedog2004

these are not really lyrics, they are vocables used to teach the tune, the celtic people knew the writing but refused to use it because it helped much more training the memory, and to write a knowledge means that this knowledge can not be changed, so it perishes...

That's why in most european tongues coming from Latin, the word Lesson is used, it comes from latin LECTIO,

[argyllclaymor]

that means read, whereas in celtic languages, the lesson word used is Kentel (breton) cannt; canntaireachd, coming from the radical kant, cannt, means "sing", so piobaireachd is still teached today through the oral practice...
