The March Of The Kings Of Laois - French Bagpipe

[napninja144]

does anybody know who wrote this tune?

[gajda1984]

Any SGHP march is played about that speed, jigs are about twice as fast.

[Uuuurk]

Great tune n great pipes! How r they tuned?

[HaileISela]

@Uuuurk thanks, they're tuned in G

[aymanilduce]

One of my favorites. Great work even if a bit fast! keep this alive please.

[xXiCossackXx]

is not "French Bagpipe"

name is Pipasso...Of Picardy (France)

[HaileISela]

@xXiCossackXx it's a cornemuse du centre. and calling it a French bagpipe is absolutely correct since it is a type of bagpipe from central France.

[KevinthePiper]

The Kings of Loais are Irish....... but a version of this tune is played/dedicated to Prince Charlie though

[HaileISela]

@KevinthePiper allright, I'd been told it's a scottish tune... but hey, in the end how could I really know? it's a beautiful tune.

[KevinthePiper]

@HaileISela that's often the way with Irish/Scottish music..... but I have to agree. I have been relearning the tune on my uilleann pipes again :p

[KevinthePiper]

Just a quick note on the speed I think for that more speed is better..... I remember the cheiftains gave it bit of welly ;)

[breizhlander1]

more slowly!! it's a march but good sound and fingering, i love!

[HaileISela]

@breizhlander1 well, I didn't play it for people to dance, so I played it in the pace that I liked.

glad you like it

[Iocatores]

Sehr (!) schön gespielt!

Ist aber keine traditionelle schottische Spielweise, oder?

[HaileISela]

@Iocatores definitiv nicht. das ist meine eigene spielweise...^^

[ollebrevid]

Hey! really nice tune! I just wonder, the 'notes' on your bagpipes, both the german and the french one, are they the 'same' as on the scotish bagpipes? i mean: is it the same scale with the same fingering? second: what exactly is the name of the french bagpipe? it is a very nice sound ^^ .

cant u upload some tin whistle video? :P i also play that

[HaileISela]

@ollebrevid The tuning of this kind of pipes is G, the fingering is called "french fingering". I never played Scottish pipes, so I don't really know much about them, but they are very much different. the name of these pipes is Cornemuse du centre.

I will eventually upload a tin whistle video, too. I'm glad you like them^^

[raonipaes]

Killer!

The sound of this bagpipe is astonishing...

Is that Sol?

[HannesFan]

Where'd you got this wonderful bagpipe?

[HaileISela]

@HannesFan it's made by Bodo Schulz (dudelsackbau(dot)net)

[starvinfolkartist]

Good performance!

[ollebrevid]

bagpipe underground would rock! i'd join haha

[Little6ster]

Wow, how did i miss that! EXZELLENT! Bravo ;°)

[HaileISela]

@Little6ster merci!

[guenterfrei]

[ukulelezo]

Beautiful. Truly.

[HaileISela]

@ukulelezo thank you Zoe, I appreciate it!

[hrlarson]

Beautiful!

[HaileISela]

@hrlarson taks a mycket! How sweet to see that you do know Fred, too. and you play Uke! great!

[casetone2514]

That was beautiful. I loved the plaintive quality the French pipes gave. I have heard it with Scottish pipes and it has a very different feel.

Do you know any Breton dance tunes? It would be fantastic to hear if you do.

[HaileISela]

@casetone2514 thanks

yes, I do know some tunes like Laridés and An-Dros, I'll see what I can do

[Siegelmonster]

i love that song. Thanks richard :)

[HaileISela]

@Siegelmonster freut mich

[Sheepstar15]

Very nicely done, Richard.  Very impressive. I think you should start Bagpipe Underground. That would be very cool :)

[HaileISela]

@Sheepstar15 cool, but difficult. due to the fact that there are more than 180 types of bagpipes known to mankind, with not just different sounds but tunings, it would be close to impossible to create a page where all would come together and join in...

[seeso]

Majestic.

[HaileISela]

@seeso wow, thanks Mr. L!

[MoreUke]

Very interesting. Didn't realize that bagpipes had more then one chanter.

[HaileISela]

@MoreUke this one actually has just one chanter, the other pipe is a small drone...

[bbycrts]

This is fantastic, Richard!

[HaileISela]

@bbycrts mahalozzzz

[UnluckyMum]

this is great :)

[HaileISela]

@UnluckyMum thank you!

[YoppyKyabetsu]

If you had bagpipes Underground, does that mean there would be lots of bagpipe covers of "I'm Yours?"

That might be a good thing.

[HaileISela]

@YoppyKyabetsu yess

I actually did a version of "no woman no cry" on pipes and ukes ("no, bagpipes don't die")

[Rouyome]

Very nice

[HaileISela]

@Rouyome thanks!

[HaileISela]

fein, lieber struppi!!

[HaileISela]

@HaileISela that's what happens if you stay logged in on your mom's PC...

[krabbers]

we have gotta do a bagpipe dub collab

[HaileISela]

@krabbers that would be awesome! I did bagpipe reggae, but no dub yet...

[langschwerdt]

One of the best on the web. *thumbs up*

[HaileISela]

@langschwerdt thanks

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

A powerfully evocative piece of music. Brilliant.

[HaileISela]

@KenMiddletonUkulele thanks a lot Mr. Middleton!

[floydbluethereal]

Gefällt mir gut!

[HaileISela]

@floydbluethereal freut mich!

[bvandergucht]

Richard, you've made my day. You are playing the tune faster than I would normally, but you really bring out a bright, vibrant lilt in it that I never would have realized was there.  On those pipes, with your playing, it sounds beautiful.

Tomorrow when I whip out my pipes on the lakefront, I'm going to speed it up and play it your tempo. It sounds way better the way you play than the slow March I've been dragging it along at.

Thank you for putting this up :)

[HaileISela]

@bvandergucht you're welcome. I realized that I played it way faster than common after I did the recording, so I was not really digging the idea of doing it again^^

can't wait to see/hear your version!

[russbuss415]

very nice!

[HaileISela]

@russbuss415 thanks bro!

[Yo0Yo0Man]

Holy sht you're alive awesome Lol

[HaileISela]

@Yo0Yo0Man hell yeah!^^

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Oh my friend ... this is wonderful. We have to do a tune together some time.

[HaileISela]

@GrumpyCoyoteTunes I'd love to, as I said, octave mandola and bagpipe go well together!

[FredFredrik]

Wow! Very, very tightly played! The sound quality is like ooooooohhhh! Your cornamuse have a really sweet tone to it as well.......Thumbs up! :-)

I will put up a clip later today of me playing a newly made halling I did. I'll play it on my Anasazi flute (that a got just a few days back).....

[HaileISela]

@FredFredrik yeah! can't wait!

I love Halling, it's like a folk version of Capoeira and Break dance^^

I got the Polska down already, now we need to figure out how to arrange it...

[FredFredrik]

@HaileISela

Good news about the polska! I might even try out the baglama saz on that one!

[HaileISela]

@FredFredrik sounds great indeed!

[uketreehugger]

oh ma ga. you are amazing. i cant wait to meet you.

xoxox

[HaileISela]

@uketreehugger not too long to go! can't wait either^^

[tkdheadbanger]

Ich weiß nich was du has, es klingt echt toll gespielt, vorallem der kleine Hall kommt da sehr gut :D

[HaileISela]

@tkdheadbanger danke, es gibt nur immer wieder mal so kleine schnitzer die mich ärgern...

[tkdheadbanger]

@HaileISela Frage dir mir dannach einfiel, mit welchen programm hast du den Hall-Effekt erstellt?

[HaileISela]

@tkdheadbanger Ich hab das ganze mit nem USB Mikro (G-Track, Samson) in Ableton Live 7 eingespielt. der eingebaute hall ist ganz gut...

[tkdheadbanger]

@HaileISela Danke, ich sehe, das Samson is meinem zoomH2 recht ähnlich
