Piobaireachd - Lament For the Earl of Dunmore

John Grant (1876-1961), amateur piper and piobaireachd enthusiaste, composed 66 piobaireachds over a period of almost fifty years. Here is what is probably a world premiere of his "Lament for the Earl of Dunmore" from Grant's "The Royal Collection of Piobaireachd - 2nd Edition." Accompanying are photos of Grant throughout his life.

Ceol Mor the bleedin work we put into playing the pipes makes me think there is no such thing as an "amature" piper!

all of a sudden i feel more inspired to learn a piobaireachd... if only people played this more.

So moving and breathtaking. Everytime I hear the bagpipes, it just moves me in a way few other types of music can, and I'm an easily moved person! It is almost entrancing....

im glad that jim who taught me to play, taught me piobaireachs, although one problem with a right old fashioned guy teaching you is that half of the stuff is now never used,its a shame but hey it sounds much better

Yes, some good comments here. Many people are in too much of a hurry nowadays but this standard of piping can be put on a par with that of the late Pipe-Major Robert Brown.

To me this is true piping. Never get the chance to hear this these days.
