As heartbreaking as it was when my dad played it for me as a young boy. He played me piobaireachd records and this was always one of my favourites. He said that the piper would often play it when they were burying their dead after battle in WW2.
Probably my favourite Piobairieachd. First learnt it from the piping of John Macpherson but have never found a piper willing to take it on since, not even Duncan Chisholm but wonder what John Burgess would have made of it
This piobaireachd was written by Padruig Mor MacCrimmon in the 1640's. He lost 7 of 8 sons to some kind of plague. It's one of the most sorrowful piobaireachd's written.

Wonderful
Beautiful heartbreaking tune, you can hear the composers grief.
Bellissima!
Excellent piping. Noted very long fingers hence the excellent piping. The "Michael Phelps" of bagpipes
nicely balanced pipes
