Auld Lang Syne - Scottish bagpipes and symphony orchestra

Koncert z okazji Dni Muzyki Europejskiej na Pomorzu - TYCHOWO 2009
Czestochowa Pipes & Drums z Królewską Orkiestrą Symfoniczną.
Auld Lang Syne, one of the most beautiful Scottish bagpipe songs. The most famous version is the performance of this song by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
"Auld Lang Syne" is a popular song, particularly in the English-speaking world. Traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. By extension, it is also often heard at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions; for instance many branches of the Scouting movement use it to close jamborees and other functions.
The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional tune, which has since become standard. "Auld Lang Syne" is listed as numbers 6294 and 13892 in the Roud Folk Song Index.
The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago", "days gone by", "times long past" or "old times". Consequently, "For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times".
The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (1570-1638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757), and James Watson (1711), as well as older folk songs predating Burns.Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "in the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "once upon a time" in his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language.
Text:
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.
Chorus:
On old long syne my Jo,
On old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On old long syne.

What an Amazingly Happy world it would be if people all over the world could sing this song all together holding each other’s hands with the feelings as honest as children, unite their hearts as “ One” and live in peace ❤

[@drrd4127]

It is crazy for me to think as a Scots woman that there is Pipe Bands like this all over the world, who dress in Traditional Scottish Highland dress and Play traditional Scottish music, it blows my mind! I have seen Scottish style pipe bands in South Africa, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium. It blows my mind since we are such a wee (small) country.

[@jeffwhite4782]

Scotland may be a wee country, yes, but it is Mighty! And the traditions of the Pipes and Drums are perhaps the Mightiest of All. My wife and I are desperate to attend the Tattoo in Edinburgh. 2025 is the year we make it. From the USA
