  • @MacLeamh There are a few launeddas makers still plying their craft. this Northern tripe-pipe was made in Sardinia by Luciano Montisci to Barnaby Brown's specifications. It is a bit of 'historical speculation' inspired by historical images. I'm the current owner of one of these bass Iona triple-pipes in the key of 'D'. it certainly 's a challenge....

  • This is so moving...I just watched the History of Scotland. It was miraculous. As is this music.

  • Amazing singing, amazing circular breathing - awesome!

  • @nr8209 You are wrong. It's Latin - as the title says, "Deus auribus", google for it. Psalm 44 in the alternative numbering.

  • The museum at Kilmartin has recordings of various prehistoric and early church sounds. The one of how St Columba might have sounded is impressive. Great to think this has all survived so long.

  • Beautiful. I love the particular style of singing voice - and it complements the pipes perfectly. Wonderful.

  • i'm guessing the piper made his own instrument... apparently nobody manufactures the triplepipe (launeddas)...

  • Hey That music instruments it's like a sardinian Launeddas!!

  • @michaeljking it is a bit hard to tell but after listening to it a few times I'd say Latin...possibly with Greek phrases. Either would have made sense for liturgical music of this time. We'll have to ask Patsy!

  • I would be 99% certain this is Gaelic from Patsy Seddon's excellent other work I have (Clan Alba CD). It is awesome and haunting
