Last week I undertook to find on the Internet a tune for a young piper.
I already have the dots for the jig "Troy's Wedding" in notation for the
fiddle. However this is surely a fairly recent pipe tune. Does anyone have
a pipe version of the tune with all the grace notes? Or can anyone direct
me towards a collection which includes this tune in pipe notation?
The conversation took place on a pleasure boat on an artificial lake in
Isere - south East France where the Small Hall Ceilidh band and the Kelso
Pipe Band were honoured guests of the Association Musicale de Vif.
Quite an experience! Of which more later if anyone wants it.
Certainly there is a distinct pulling power of men in kilts!
The pipers and our hosts often played Highland Cathedral which they are
convinced is a traditional Scottish tune. Oh well, Over the Sea to Skye
and all that. There is a tradition of non-Scots writing tunes which are
readily accepted by Scots as traditional!
