More from “The Highland Sessions.” Your regular dose of piping video medicine.
“The Highland Sessions” by the BBC are several years old now, but a wealth of great musical sets await the canny video seeker. Here is the inimitable Allan MacDonald performing “Duncan MacCrae of Kintail’s Lament” whilst making the smooth transition into the Irish tune “The March of the King of Loais.” The piobaireachd stands as one example in MacDonald’s thesis of the relationship of many piobaireachd to the song traditions of the Highlands and Ireland, even going so far as making the claim that these two tunes are one and the same. Watching this it is hard to argue.
