🇨🇭 Basel Tattoo 2018, The Parting Glass with Massed Bands and Massed PnD

One of the most heart-stunning moments in the show. A result of the new concept to play more Scottish Traditionals 👍🏼

Those who are not moved by this magnificent, swelling music have hearts of granite, souls of dust, minds of rust.

[@robertkoepper8825]

And now it is as soul stirring as always. Our broken world needs this and all such honest music to help us heal.

I feel as if I've finally heard The Parting Glass as it should be heard...the beautiful singers, a brass transition, and the skirl of pipes. Beautiful.

[@georgemchoe608]

I agree with you 100% 🥰

[@YUMA-jz9xx]

"...the skirl of pipes." --> I like that!

[@gabrielakerekes5844]

Simply amazing. I played the video clip over and over ,can’t get enough how amazing sounds 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@antbhoy3760]

Excellent. It sounds like they're Irish people singing the song,sounds like it to me. Anyway it's a great video and tune. Lovely settings in Basel. Respect to Switzerland 👍 Greetings from the Republic of Ireland 💚 🇮🇪🇨🇭🇮🇪🇨🇭🇮🇪🇨🇭🇮🇪🇨🇭

A Beautiful old Scottish folk song. First time I have heard it with the bagpipes. Thanks for posting.

[@MEHerlihy]

Traditional Irish, I think.

[@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529]

@@MEHerlihy A lot of people think that. I can understand the confusion. The Irish seem to get a lot of credit for all the Celtic folk songs. But many including this one Parting glass is Scottish. All the best.

[@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529]

@@MEHerlihy if you google “ where does the song Parting glass come from? It will answer any questions 👍👍

[@francis5326]

It's Irish

[@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529]

@@francis5326 Parting glass was written in Scotland in 1605 then adopted by the Irish around 1782. If you don’t believe me goggle it. All the best.

So glad the Germans have come to love the dudelsack, too!

Bagpipes were common across the continent. We had a Spanish foreign exchange student 30+ years ago who brought his single drone bagpipe to school.

Knowing the real history of the facts in which this song is based,I can only say that invy this ending.

[@georgemchoe608]

It's a Scottish song, but also (mabey even more) popular in Ireland!
