"Praise Him with timbrel and dance, praise Him with strings and pipe!" Psalm 150:4 (RSV)
"My lyre is turned to mourning, and my pipe to the voice of those who weep." Job 30:31 (RSV)
From across the sea, from the land of faeries, dragons, waterhorses, and wee people, from homes with thatched roofs, peat fires, honest home cooking, and a strong belief in God, from the sea breezes of the Outer Hebredes and the wind kissing the grain fields of County Fermanaugh, to the shores of the New World, comes a sound. A sound so ancient it is woven into our very DNA. It speaks to our hearts, and to our souls. Without it, we are bereft. With it, we are whole. With it, we are with family and friends. With it, we are home.
It is the sound of the pipes.
The music of the Great Highland Bagpipe evokes
strong emotions, from celebration and joy to sorrow from the very
depths of the human soul. The steady voice of the drones and the
singing of the chanter produce a sound like none other. From Amazing
Grace to the great masterpieces of Piobaireachd, tunes both familiar
and new move people in ways no other music can.
