Yes, so you probably know that a slightly altered version of this was played for her funeral procession, a perfect adaptation of the feel of this original with the conventions of the pace of modern military procession. I play pipes because of Scots neighbors many years ago from her times, and the Scottish music they shared with our family when I was a young child. An outstanding KZbin of the QM procession pipes, recorded at street level, is found at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eomTZqB3ideCo7Msi=zrDV1wXnhk1osCAF

@@Dayepipes Interesting! I didn't know that, but I noticed that the song sounded like a mix between "Mist Covered Mountains" and "My Home"

Thank you for this reply. I play the pipes since 1966, I became able to play all the tunes on this recording in my late teen years long ago, but never a player of any importance to the pipe world. Another KZbin poster of tunes from this album says it was made in 1959 and I have no way to be sure, living so far from Scotland and from London.

I don't know the time period of the recording, I was referring to the photograph and the time frame of the two pipe bands playing on the sports grounds together at the Duke of York barracks and the resultant photographs

His style makes great sense. More than a little of it relates to what his instrument --specifically the melody playing pipe or "chanter" made by Leo Rowsome, and what it was able to do and was unable to do. If you play the instrument, there a sound effect unique to the bottom note of the scale and of this tune which is the note D. It's called the "hard D" and it's the same note, but is made louder by pumping the air pressure a tiny bit higher as an upper finger is incredibly briefly flicked up and down that triggers the response. Almost every piper in history uses this effect except for Paddy Moloney --I've never heard him use it even once in the recordings and appearances since the early 70's. But I make uilleann pipes as my full time profession, and I have been building replicas of aged, distorted chanters from the maker of Moloney's trying to undo the degradation of age. I can say that giving up the "hard D" feature would make his style easier to play. This could be done by any combination of the ravages of time on an instrument, or ways of making and setting up the reed. RIP Paddy, and Leo too for that matter, if I had a choice of winning a billion dollar lottery or spending 1 hour with each of you 2 willing to answer my questions, I'd take the latter.

@@Dayepipes I've also noticed the abscence of hard D, as well as other little things (distinction of vibrato on B1, ability to play vibrato on back D with all four bottom hand fingers without falling to c#, specific tonal quality of sliding from e2 to g2). Interestingly, often time pipemakers and pipers concider ability of the chanter to play hard D to be an advantage and a marker of a good chanter/reed combination. It is so great to finally discuss Moloney's music with someone. People usually tend to overlook his mastery as a piper, seeing him mostly as a showman and band leader.

It's the opposite of random for those of us who play, and the profoundly few of us who make, this instrument. I'm sorry some demented computer algorithm inserted it into your life.

She dead

Great to hear that. Good luck to him.

It's an integral part of a royal funeral. And it fits

The moment the pipes and drums started, I just felt a huge wave of goosebumps and emotion. An amazing performance by all involved, they did their/our Queen proud 👏

Was an unbelievable day!! The bagpipes did me also.

Same scene of 1936 George V funeral is on KZbin with the bagpipes

Mass pipes & drums are amazing

Proud to be 🇬🇧

I’ve cried practically every day due to this tune, Skye Boat Song and The Funeral March 😢😢😢

Yeah I had a lump in my throat also. Very moving

Me too pal, bagpipes are absolutely beautiful and sad at the same time

@@blackjackmaestro6505 They’re haunting, mate. 😞😞😞

What else did the pipe band play for the funeral? It seemed to be a few songs.
