Bruce Gandy, Lament for the Children, MSOPD

[crazycelt89]

Right before he removed his glasses to wipe his eyes, I thought to myself, "How many pipers come to the edge of losing their composure when they fill the air with those haunting tunes?" It must not be too uncommon.

@crazycelt89 I think he's just wiping sweat. I'm sure there are pipers somewhere who get close to losing focus from emotion but I doubt it's Bruce Gandy- he's played this tune and plenty of other laments in his lifetime.

It dosent get any better than this, and the resonance from the walls is epic.

"When i leave this world behind me, to another i will go,

and if there are no pipes in heaven,

i will going down below".

Mark Knopfler (Piper to the end)

That`s haunting. I´m speechless!

Perfect. Pitch, tune, pathos. ...wants for nothing. Thank you.

"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament For The Children'...'It's a hard tune, that' said Old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world."

Neil Gunn, "Butcher's Broom"

Very Beautiful.... This music goes straight to the soul... And the tone of his bagpipes is incredible... Thank you whoever posted this...
