THE CARAVAN - Hornpipe
A desert hornpipe with lots of C naturals, which one can, it is to be hoped, see as a natural to the piping world. By the way, when serving up camels, it is always polite to ask the guest he would like, " one hump, or two ?" Note the low A grounding of the final C natural and the folowing B, and the...

I like this very much. Play it both ways--with all those cuttings and in a lighter version. I am not so sure that the tune doesn't work well with them--if you want that choppy effect. But there is room for all tastes in such matters. Some spot harmony--just on the strong beats--might really carry th...

Sometimes the repeated 2nd and 6th bars parts can be varied in the 6th bar for a little variety and interest. On some 6/8s I might change the second group of three 8th notes in the 6th bar (Eight-dotted-Sixteenth-Eighth) to a Quarter Note-Eighth Note sequence. The longer Quarter note sometimes sugge...

JOURNEY TO HOLBAEK 4-Part 2/4 March
Composed for a piper of ours who has been sponsored by an FMM player into a grade 3a Holbaek Pipes & Drums, a competition band in his home country. While visiting with us, he heard one of our young pipers at band practice, and put forth the idea of him training with a serious 3a band for a couple of...

As I invisioned SFU or FMM or SLOT playing this with rich two- and three-part harmony, I definately heard possibilities. A "drones-only" part can be tricky. I just happened to do a performance this week with two other pipers, playing with a chorus that requested we continue with just drones at vario...

Hill of Evil Counsel
This is a real place in Jerusalem, famous for three things: Ancient association with the Judas of New Testament notoriety; Site of Government House, the seat of British imperial rule over Israel until 1948; Site of current headquarters of the United Nations in Jerusalem. The name is real and ancient...

La Piazza del Suonatore di Cornamusa Scozzese
A smallpipe composition, but completely playable on the Highland pipes. Composed as a wedding present. The story behind this tune is someone who chanced upon someone playing the pipes in a lovely old square somewhere in Tuscanny, Italy. Not really a Scottish style of melody, but I love it on the sma...
