Allan MacDonald The Lament for the Children

[hafpipe]

This is the way Pìobaireachd is supposed to be played. Beautiful. Passionate. And not regimented.

Allan deserves great credit for all he has done to promote and preserve Ceol Mor

[craigelemental]

Alan has won all the major Piobairechd contests...but he is renowned for playing (when not competing) in his own interpritations of piobaireachd..hes a top piper.. ;-)

In a long introduction, Allan introduced this as the Lament for the Children; I'm not well-versed in pibroch, so I take his word for it

[DDog1029]

This is the Mackintosh Lament. Not Lament for the Childeren.

Boy with the black hair I gave you love

Boy with the black hair I gave affection.

I gave you love, I gave you affection.

I gave you a love that I did not give to the rest

Boy with the black hair, I gave you affection."
