Pineapple Rag (Scott Joplin)
มุมมอง 2514 ปีที่แล้ว
'Pineapple Rag' by Scott Joplin (1908). Performed by Alistair Iain Paterson Ragtime is often seen as being very light hearted and upbeat, but the origins of its evolution are darker than the music might suggest at a first glance. Racial injustice certainly played a no small part. Ragtime emerged across Southern America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is hard to pinpoint exactly ho...

As part of the commemoration Julie Fowlis sang "An Eala Bhàn" ("The White Swan) - a Scottish Gaelic song written in the trenches during WWI by Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna of North Uist.

Leaving St. Kilda

'Leaving St. Kilda' In August 2018 I visited the spectacular isles of St. Kilda for the first time. The weather was pretty awful, but it cleared up just enough for me to get my rain-drenched pipes out for a tune in the wind. This a short clip of the tune ‘Leaving St. Kilda’ - written by Willie Ross not long after the last inhabitants were evacuated in 1930. This is the bay from which they...

"Pharaoh's"
มุมมอง 4505 ปีที่แล้ว
“Pharaoh’s” This is a tune I mostly wrote a few years ago, but have picked up again in the past week or so and finished it. At the time when I was originally writing it, my dad always said how much he liked the tune, and so now I’m giving it to him. Back at home on Lewis he has always been known by his nickname ‘Iain Pharaoh’, or simply ‘Pharaoh’. Music can take on new meanings at different tim...

I think you got the tempo perfect. Most people play it too fast in my opinion. Yours is slower but still has energy.

What kind of rotter would steal a mans bagpipes.....?
Gur duilich leam mar tha mi 's mo chridhe 'n sàs aig bròn bhon an uair a dh'fhàg mi beanntan àrd a'cheò, gleanntannan a'mhànrain nan loch, nam bàgh, 's nan stròm 's an eala bhàn 'tha tamh ann gach là air 'm bheil mi'n tòir. A Mhagaidh na bi tùrsach a rùin, ged gheibhinn bàs. Cò am fear am measg an t-sluaigh a mhaireas buan gu bràth? Chan eil sinn uileadh ach air chuairt mar dhìthein buaile fàs bheir siantannan na bhliadhna sìos 's nach tog a'ghrian an àird. Air m'uilinn anns na truinnseachan tha m'inntinn ort, a ghràidh. Nam chadal bidh mi 'bruadar ort, cha dualach dhomh bhith slàn. Tha m'aigne air a' lìonadh le cianalas cho làn, 's a' ghruag a dh'fhàs cho ruadh orm a-nis air thuar bhith bàn. Mas e 's gu bheil e 'n dàn dhomh o'n bhlàr gu'n till mi beò, is gu'm faic mi'n t-àite 's an deachaidh m'àrach òg, bidh sinne 's crathadh làmh againn is bilean blàth toirt phòg, 's mo ghealltanas bidh pàighte dhut le fàinne chur mu d'mheòir. Ach ma thig an t-àm is anns an Fhraing gu'm faigh mi bàs, 's an uaigh gu'n tèid mo shineadh far éil na mìltean chàch, mo bheannachd leis a'ghruagaich, a'chaileag uasal bhàn, gach latha a dh'fhalbh gun uallach dhi gun nàire gruaidh na dhàil. Oidhche mhath leat fhéin, a rùin, nad leabaidh chùbhraidh bhlàth, cadal sàmhach air a chùl 's do dhùsgadh sunndach slàn. Tha mise 'seo 'san truinnsidh fhuair nam chluaisean fuaim a bhàis, gun dùil ri faighinn às le buaidh tha'n cuan cho buan ri shnàmh.
Excuse me, what is this I've just read?
@craigtravisfehr The lyrics to the song lol 😜
@Kcccccc-cm5gx Thank you. That is fantastic. I thought they might be. Well, alright then, everything checks out here. Good! No compliment necessary then. Right! Unless you had written them, of course. And that thought had not even entered my mind for a moment. And there it remains.
@craigtravisfehr Haha oh noooooo! Lol Gaelic is super hard for me lol not saying IMPOSSIBLE, but difficult haha xD I copied and pasted so I can actually sing the lyrics when I follow along. ❤
My grandfather was killed in The Battle of Loos. .His body never came home to Scotland nor did his brother .They lived next door to each other and left a widow and six children ,12 children left fatherless ( my own father the youngest at 4 ys old). He's buried in the cemetery at Loos En Gohelle. Thank you for this wonderful act of remembrance .For all of them who fell and us their descendant families.
J'y étais.
I have watched a lot of documentaries about the Great War, amb some of them are really hard, but none of them makes me feel so close to all those unfortunate men (who knew so clear they were sent to death by insane leaders) like this song, this performance amb specially this voice.
What's the organ he's playing? Sounds like an accordion.
harmonium
Better late than never!
One of the most beautiful performances I’ve ever heard, and that of one of the saddest songs ever written.
Yes
Delighted to see and hear from Julie Fowlis😊👋🌅🏴🎵
Enjoyed the holding of the tune and of hearts woven, tied together in song
Very moving.
Oran math
Wonderful playing.
I was fortunate to be one of those drawn out of the hat by the CWGC to get a ticket for this event. As a big fan of Julie Fowlis I was blown away by her rendition of An Eala Bhán
Galanta
A very moving rendition with a surprising originality in performance. setting. Since the air -as an Ulster emigrant lament while in Scotland-it seems to. gain is strength from a marriage of the Gaelic vocal traditions on both sides of Sruth na Maoile,
This fine song starts not before time mark 01:33.
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen an Irish person talking to a Scottish person in Gaelic. Go raibh maith agaibh
I think Julie is married to an Irish speaker
Hi great performance of aird chulain but someone knows what is the name of the first song?
You played so beautifully, this Chinese classic piece, you really did justice to it. This Happy celebration piece well interpreted.
An English translation of Domhnall Ruadh Chorùna’s poem, written in the trenches of the Great War: I reckon I'm in a pretty sorry state with my heart being seized by sadness from the time when I left the high mist-shrouded hills, the little glens filled with lovesongs, with their lochs, bays, and streams. and the white swan who lives there who every day I pursue. Magaidh, don't be unhappy my dear, even if I should die. What man amongst all people can live eternally, for ever? We are all just visiting, like daisies in an empty fold, the year's wind and rain will bring them down and the sun won't pick them up. Kneeling in the trenches my mind's on you, love. When I sleep I dream of you, and I don't expect to survive. My thoughts are filled with overwhelming sorrow, and my hair that was so red, now it's almost white. If it is fated for me to return living from the battlefield, and I see again the place where I was brought up, we'll have ourselves and clasping hands and warm lips giving kisses, and my promise will be fulfilled for you by placing a ring on your finger. But if the time comes and I die in France, and I'm placed in a grave where there are thousands of others, my blessings will be with the maid, the fair noble girl, let each day pass without troubles for her and let her have no contact with shame. Good night, my love, in your warm fragrant bed, may you have a peaceful sleep, and then awaken in health and happiness. I'm here in the cold trench, in my ears the din of death, with no expectation of getting out victorious, the sea takes so long to swim.
Thank you.
I'm so grateful that this version is put on TH-cam. I saw it when sang live on television... Breathtaking and you feel the emotions of the writer of the poem through this amazingly beautiful dang version of an eale van🙏🙏🙏
My brother and I were fortunate to be there that day to remember grandad. Bidh cuimhne agam air an òran seo gu bràth
Really nice playing. Captures the spirit of the instrument. Someone gave me a smaller, 2 octave version of one of these, in the mid 60s. The box was brass colored, and had a curved chrome grill, backed by a gold thread fabric. It had small rubber feet, and a chrome carrying handle on the front, below the keyboard. It didn't open up like this, nor did it have resonating tubes. It was in perfect condition. I believe it was meant to be played in bands and small orchestras. It was probably made in the mid 50s. I gave to a musician friend, in the 70s, because I never played it. I did have piano lessons as a kid, and I played the Glockenspiel in marching band in high school. I saw myself as a percussionist, not a keyboard player. I wish I still had it. Of course.
Hello ... I'm from Austria .... I love this music and this language. (Singing) .... For me, julie Fowlis is one of the best (most versatile) musicians I've heard ....!
It's extremely poetic that Julie dresses like a white swan herself

Stunning

You are so talented ! Have you considered joining @sessionslive?
¡Pero qué delicia de música servida en este angelical instrumento! Se agradece el rito de abrir y cerrarlo.
Beautiful...
Louise Mulcahy is there too, playing flute.
A magnificent piece of music. The scenery was interesting but the combined voices and accompaniment was truly something.
Chills-inducingly beautiful. Absolutely wonderful performance, all. Thanks.
A beautiful tribute to those brave young men who were repeatedly sent over the top into the maw of the Grim Reaper by incompetent officers.
Mr. Rogers.
Thank you much for sharing, I absolutely love this interpretation by Béla Viktor János Bartók of an old Hungarian Ballad named "Sir a kis galambom" = Cry my little dove. It brings back very deep memories indeed. Thank you again :-)
Thanks very much for your comments!
beautiful
Absolutely charming! I love the framing device of opening and closing the instrument. Open the box, make some magic come out, close the box. A proper little narrative, and an exquisite little tune.
I was there and have been a fan ever since.

so sad
Sublime. Beautiful in every respect - and fitting for fallen brave warriors.
Great tune 👍
