Flowers of the Forest

[@VellaCharles]

Just plain beautiful , Flowers Of The Forest. The Lament. I had this played by a piper at my wife's funeral seven years ago. It gets you in the heart . RIP my dear .

[@newtruechristians4954]

Thank You for your beautiful music. May God Bless you. Love and Light to everyone and everything!

[@dennis12dec]

This tune was played at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for the funeral of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, it was a deeply moving as his coffin is slowly lowered to the Royal Vault when the piper played this tune, it was indeed a poignant moment and a fitting tribute as well.

[@chuckhainsworth4801]

We called this tune "The Lament," but we all knew what it was really called. "And the pipes played 'Flowers of the Forest" as they lowered you down."

Tears to those who listen ...

[@prissilou]

She's a most talented piper...beautiful...

[@joe9042]

Can't listen to this, without crying. It is a universal song of sadness.

[@Blackscorpion1963]

R.I.P. Firefighters Patrick Jones, age 25 and Captain Ray Figueroa age 35. Wow what a powerful performance of Flowers of the Forest. Certainly felt it. Thank you Tress Maksimuk, Dark Isle Piper. I marvel in awe at the lone bag piper. Best wishes from a Kiwi [New Zealander].

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

I think those few lines may be the most moving words in all poetry or prose.🪖❤️

[@jazzman1626]

One of my all time favourite pipe tunes. Easy enough until a lump comes to the throat while playing it. Last time I played it was at my brother-in-law’s funeral.

[@billyshears6345]

Played at my wife's funeral by a proper Scotsman, Thank you Craig.

Respect to all. Peace to all. God's grace to all, everyday!

[@Seumas-MacDhaibhidh]

Your description of this wonderful tune explains why this song in particular hits home with me. The sound vibrations are very strong, and the connection is undeniable. My heart, too, goes out to those brave souls who paid the ultimate price. We are fortunate to have someone like you to help keep the memory of the strong ones alive, so that we may not forget there are those in this world who care. Many blessings!!

Beautiful : and the camera work is superb, again.

[@tacitusthehistories5417]

It's a call to spiritual warfare. As the Scot's used the pipes to call the clans to confront & fight the Romans & later the English, with this hymn it is now the Christians battle cry to come together & confront the adversary, Satan!

[@Agent47395]

Such a beautiful and moving tune. Makes me cry, sad, joyful and no other words can describe........

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

Respectfully in honor and memory of those who have gone before. Beautiful, haunting melody played beautifully.

[@carelvandermerwe658]

[@Canuckmom128]

Beautiful job, Tress. Very moving rendition. One of my favourite Slow Airs. Glad there were reps. from Canada at the Funeral for the fallen Firefighters. May they Rest in Peace.

[@redleader]

I jumped when i saw you standing in a California almond orchard. The prettiest blossoms in early spring....swept away by spring rains...I ran wild through many acres until I was lost somewhere deep in the orchard. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@peggyholmes6110]

You are seriously talented with a gift from God.❤️

[@truenorth2977]

Excellently played. This piece is the one.

[@peterisaacs1344]

A lament for the loss of king James and 10000 others at the battle of Flodden in 1513

[@pemacal57]

Once again I have to say : BRILLIANT, with your own touch. Old Air, also called “ The Liltin”, appears under this tittle in the Skene Collection, a lute or mandore manuscript of c. 1615-20. The lament makes reference to the Battle of Flodden Field, fought in Northumberland on the 9th of September, 1513, when the Scots army of James IV was soundly defeated by the English Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey. Many Scottish noblemen were killed in combat, Earl of Lennox, Earl of Argyll….even the same King James. “Flowers of the Forest” refers to the Scots who came from Ettrick Forest. The English Army was under the command of my countrywoman “ Catalina of Aragon”, wife of King Henry VIII.

[@ColinH1973]

Wonderful interpretation. Thank you once again Tress.

[@deathvalley006]

This was played at HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral. Now Queen Elizabeth II has joined him in eternal life.

[@lisafreebairn7736]

Incredible! So deep and mystical. We are having a piper play this next week at Dad's burial.

[@DifferentSaturner]

Poet Jean Elliot wrote lyrics for the ancient tune sometime about 1757. Her refrain is haunting, “The Flooers of the Forest are a’ wede awa’ “. Translated from Scots dialect, it means, “The Flowers of the Forest are all wilted away.” (Tue 21 Sept 2021 11h38)

[@christygum3384]

Fantastic.

[@nicolasseric7930]

J'aime bien votre uniforme votre kilte aussi 😉🙂 à la musique aussi

When this is played at the hallowed ground of the Menin Gate you are aware of the tens of thousands who have no known grave. #wewillrememberthem
