Another wonderful posting thanks so much!!. I particularly like the arrangement of the tune (less busy). Its simplicity lends itself to the instrumental accompaniment. Another example of how sometimes.... simple is good.
Cheers!!

Pipe Major Farquhar Beaton's masterpiece Glencoe; a standard 48th Highlanders of Canada Slow March. A standard Slow March to the Graveside in both WWs 1 & 2 and for the Regiment's Fallen since. In Quick Time, it is Colonel Robertson, the 48th Highlanders Commanding Officer’s March and a standard Quick March to Rest Billets after Battle.
Scots Pipers and British bands picked up the tune in WW1, particularly the 48 HIGHRS Imperial Allied Regiment, the Gordons. Dileas Gu Brath.

From childhood this was my favourite song..sung by the Corries. A piper played it at my wedding reception in 1977. The saddest and most beautiful song in the world!! Pipe music is the most descriptive of emotions. Hoping to go to Scotland for the first time this fall..check out all the family history. Thankx for the music.
