Cantarrach - Gaelic tradition

Cantarrach - the way bagpipe tunes were remembered and learnt and still are

This is my beautiful, talented Aunt Rona. Oh how I miss you

Choinnich mi d' antaidh choir (duilich, chan eil sracan agam air an inneal seo), aig Sabhal Mor Ostaig, agus bha i cho cridheil, coinneil dhomh, 's nach eil guth agam ri radh. Cha diochuimhnich mi gu brath i.

[@burritonoodle4155]

I did not know that’s how some of the tunes were passed down for pipers. (Specifically the piobaireachd) Wow! That explains a lot.

My first time seeing this she was an amazing treasure.

What a beautiful documentary!! "Canntaireachd" is the Classical Music from Scotland (or "Ceòl Mòr"), the base of the Píobaireachd.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the documentary from which this clip was taken? I would love to hear the entire thing and purchase a copy of it.

[@CuebsyNL]

Do you already know it? I'm also very interested in the documentary.

[@xorezx1]

I heard it was BBC related, and has to to do with folk music, but this is hearsay.

[@bd7913]

Sounds very much like she is expressing what many would consider a connecting note instead as the end of the phrase (as in how the Cameron style would have one play it). No?

[@ssangari]

what is her instrument called??

[@invalide]

a chanter, it’s used to teach and learn bagpipes fingering

[@perrypiobaireachd]

Hi sorry but I thought it was writen like cantaireachd instead of cantarrach...I used all the time. best regards perry

[@maxmarnau7019]

It is.

[@maxmarnau7019]

(well, canntaireachd - I didn't notice you'd missed one of the ns)

[@criostoirpiondargas8416]

Canntaireachd

[@MosqueraCelticBand]

Yeah, that's the correct expression.
