Je suis d'accord Dominique que cette musique a le pouvoir de rapprocher les gens d'horizons variés. En revanche et avec du respect, il s'agit de musique irlandaise et non "Celte" qui n'existe pas, sauf chez les labels de CD des années 90.@@Dominique2947
Just beautiful! The playing sounds so natural and easy - although this tune must be quite a challenge on the uilleann pipes as it requires playing very high notes (the highest available if I am not mistaken?). The regulators add a lot.
So moving, how does it stir the soul and how does it seem so familiar? I'm trying to trace a piece of music that featured the pipes, think it was a minor hit in the 70s and possibly from a film, can anybody help? Its a beautiful piece with orchestra too as I remember..Thankyou.
This is very true. But the secret is that it's this fact that also makes the uilleann pipes such a joy to play. They need such focus that while playing them, they become the players entire world. Time is measured in notes and feelings.

And aren't you lucky?

I am a lucky person! Also, one who goes out of her way to not hurt another's feelings. Kindness costs nothing.@@gloin10
You're lucky
Imagine living your whole life in a small village only having ever heard a really good singer and then one of these comes and plays for you
These instruments come from small villages

When I first heard Liam O’Flynn play this I nearly cried. Deadly. Well done. Just lovely
I love listening to Planxty play this. Liam O'Flynn is amazing
I had the same reaction. It must have been around 1974...
Why are my eyes wanting to leak! This is stunning!!!
This is my go-to rendition of Si Bheag Si Mhor
One of the most beautiful songs ever composed
I am related to this great musician
@@michaelcarolan3117 congratulations
Darragh. That was top notch. Something about that instrument that always makes my eyes well up.
Greetings from Germany, what a beautiful song and sound. Brings tears to my eyes.
Adoro la música,la melodía,el instrumento felicidades, sur Spain gracias...
¿Conoce la musica de Jose Angel Hevia Velasco? El toca la gaita. Hay un CD, "tierra de nadie / no man's land." (1999)
one of my favourites. My granda played this, beautiful!
Uilleann pipes are one of the most challenging instruments to learn.
Soy de Colombia 🇨🇴, nunca he ido a otro país, pero hay algo en esta música que me atrapa y me hala hacia Escocia, Irlanda y otros lugares más ❤️
La musique Celte rapproche les hommes et les femmes de ce monde !!

Perfect
Well done, sir.
Now . . . The key change! . . . Only kidding.
Great idea using the natural acoustics of a church.
This brings out the 3% Irish in me. What a beautiful song and great performance.
Holy Shit! This man can play
Peace and love from the wirral..
Uilleann pipes. ... the safest instrument you can play because they have a seat belt and an air bag!
Love that.
sweet
❤ to Roscommon - Mayo - Cork
Lovely playing. What was the song that you heard being sung to it?
I'd be very interested in learning the lyrics too!
Absolutly beautifully played! Love it! May I ask? Is this a H. Morgenbrodt-Set? :)
Sorry for my late response. No. The set is made by Makoto. Amazing pipe maker.
Sí go maith.
It seems very difficult to play these pipes. Playing the melody, operating the bellows, lifting the pipe and playing the chanter all at the same time.
This is very true. But the secret is that it's this fact that also makes the uilleann pipes such a joy to play. They need such focus that while playing them, they become the players entire world. Time is measured in notes and feelings.
Fan bloody tastick.
I find this . . . acceptable.
exceptional!
Thank you ☺️
Iontach ar fad.
Notice the guitar slips out of beat . That's called not listing to the tune ...
aThere's no guitar.
Beautiful
