| Item Description | This piobaireachd [pibroch] is from David Glen's 'A Collection of Ancient Piobaireachd') (see JSS0549). It appears not only in collections of bagpipe music, but in many manuscripts and published versions for violin. It was first published by the Scot James Oswald (1711?-1769) in London in the 1740s. A fine version is in Patrick MacDonald's Collection of Highland Vocal Airs (1784). There, the violin setting is in 'scordatura' tuning, where the strings are retuned so they can resonate, and simulate the bagpipe drones. |
