Rated among the finest marches ever written for the pipes, 'The 79th's Farewell to Gibraltar' was one of the early quicksteps written for troops on the march. It was composed by Pipe Major John Macdonald of the 79th Cameron Highlanders in June of 1848 when his regiment left Gibraltar for Canada.

[@gordonmcquarrie8649]

I like this because the brass is not playing the tunes strictly along with the pipes but sort of syncopated in between. Strictly together doesn't seem right (to a piper!)

[@Fergus-Collington]

Quite right. Pipes effectively take the role of vocals, everything else fills in.

[@jamesrichards4096]

This tune works equally well for light infantry regiments like the Black Watch with faster marching pace.

This is an ignorant question but what is the march that the pipers are playing? It's wonderful

[@RealWp2x]

79th fairwell to Gibraltar 😁

[@sidpheasant7585]

I can tell you why it is - indeed - wonderful! Because somehow it is blessed through two emotions from history. The first is a tangible joy of relief. That is because when the 79th left Gibraltar it was supposed to be for Jamaica, but instead they were posted to Canada. Now from today's perspective, maybe that does not sound great. But then the West Indies meant disease and death for Scottish soldiers, while Canada was a colder version of home. However, on arrival, the troopship encountered for, so the sea captain begged the Bandmaster to take the Jocks on deck to play - this is why the brass instruments make a kind of foghorn sound to this day. Other ships heard the sound and kept clear. Somehow (probably through the inspiring Holy Spirit) these two life-saving aspects have come through to empower the music in a special way...

The first tune is not simply 'Farewell To Gibraltar', it is 'The 79th's Farewell To Gibraltar'. If you're going to give information then please give full information. The Lowland Band & The Highland Band of The Royal Regiment Of Scotland & The Pipes & Drums of 7th Battalion are Army Reservists but that doesn't take away from a brilliant performance of music & drill by Scottish soidiers.

[@alannicholson4338]

This makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

[@sidpheasant7585]

This might be the case with any military music, but this one is SPECIAL. It was written in 1848 and the full title is the 79's Farewell to Gibraltar. The Regiment left that place ... for Canada, but for some time they had feared they would be posted to Jamaica. To you and I now that might sound pretty good, but back then it was a kind of death sentence, especially for young, not-very-well-nourished Scots lads. Disease would finish them off. Maybe Canada has its own risks, but that was still a kind of second home from home for a Jock. But when they got to the St. Lawrence, it was so foggy that the Captain of the troop ship begged the Pipe Major to bring his men up on deck to play through the fog so other ships would know. To this day you can hear a kind of repeat-foghorn-drone sound in the music. This music therefore carries joy and relief and a sense of vibrant gratitude for salvation ... twice. You can actually feel it when you listen to the piece.

[@sidpheasant7585]

Well God bless him ... as He clearly DID! John MacDonald 1848 I have loved this tune from way back, but only this year did I discover the TWO reasons why there is a special joy, relief and sense if security in the great "79th's Farewell to Gibraltar" tune. Things are not by chance - things of G(o)od anyway. We can feel something when we hear this, and men's lives depended on it...

Yes exactly. [Though we don't say brass, as a military band should be a true wind band, with percussion as well, and of course woodwind...] Many will tell you that it is wrong to mix pipes and drums with military band, but this particular piece really gains a lot from that combination.
