June 21, 2013...Faith Hope Love Concert benefiting Oklahoma tornado victims performed at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Oklahoma City;

[@Smokeyham]

Love how the audience stands in respect at the pipes start to play.

[@debrabolton9372]

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. Beautifully performed!

[@jackmichaelson8617]

Had me bawling as the pipes hit. As a highlander having been gone from home for many years I've been thinking a lot over the past week since I first came across this. Discussed it with my wife and can happily say we're going home at the beginning of 2023. All I can say is thanks.

Know the feeling. After 43 years living in Australia, my daughter is taking me home. 5 days to go and I will be home.

I’m from the Black Isle in the Highlands of Scotland, north of Inverness. A great rendition of Highland Cathedral. Well done Oklahoma City. Catherine Smith. 👍🥰

[@karenferguson166]

Thank you from a proud Scots Presbyterian a beautiful version of a beautiful tune even the words are very spiritual loved the way the congregation stood when the bagpipes started to play and the swagger of the pipers walking off to rousing applause 👏 it brought tears to my eyes god bless the congregation and stay safe at this hard time😢😢💙💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Same here from a proud Scotsman of the original Christian Church brought by Saint Andrew our patron saint.

[@gmc0422]

Being a Scot myself, this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it performed.

[@lesgriffiths8523]

This is the BEST version I have ever heard..............,and the congregation stood respectfully....well done Oklahoma City, well done.......God Bless America, Les Griffiths ( Australia)

[@derektodd4126]

From a Bagpiper for 35 years, beautiful. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

[@nicholasblurton3412]

Indeed, big sign of respect to stand when you hear the pipes.

[@johnsing1833]

awesome performance of my favorite pipe tune

[@rodrigofuentes3491]

Beatiful melody, it made me cry when I heard it. I'm mexican, but I love SCOTLAND !

[@phylliswood8120]

O M G I've always loved this tune as it reminds me of my mother . This is one of the best I have heard I've cried the whole way throu . Simply beautiful thank you so much . Respect to each & everyone of you

[@wetalemihir]

What a Beautiful Melody!! Everytime I heard this melody I got shivers on my body!

[@hrhjrd]

Best arrangement of this I have ever heard. This is also an anthem of specialty to Scotland from which the Presbyterian Church was found......I believe.

[@billyferguson5871]

Since I came across this I can’t stop watching it soo emotional 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@parisdrake8802]

After living in Scotland, this remains the most beautiful version I've ever heard of this song.

[@CrowFan01]

Bagpipes were deemed a weapon of war because they instilled fear on the enemy, now they strike a yearing and great passion for freedom and peace 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@skywatcher4759]

This Beautiful Melody was composed by the German Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982

[@gloryguyful]

from Scotland we send our love,,,,,,,,,amazing

[@shibainu7364]

What can you say? Just heart-moving. Meanwhile my favorite piece. You want to stand up like all these fantastic people in this audience. Heard it again and again and again....

[@geoffdundee]

beautiful...........perfect arrangement............gentle soft start then rousing pipes - AWESOME

[@HeatherReid-r3d]

Absolutely wonderful

[@rayjoslin9590]

Magnificent! Extremely respectful for these talented musicians. Wish I could have been there. Tearing in respect.

[@dianewarner7505]

Pity we can’t give more then one thumbs up and to those that gave thumbs down just goes to show you done have Scottish blood I your veins the bagpipes stir my soul everytime I here them

[@franciscavagne9412]

Extraordinaire de douceur et de sensibilité Amazing of sweet and sensibility. Waoh !

[@gmc0422]

I work part-time for the company that built and installed this instrument, and get to help the President of the Reuter firm when he comes down to tune this instrument, so being the organist/choirmaster of a local Anglican Parish Church, I can com in and play this lovely instrument when I ask ahead of time. Quite a thrill to play this gorgeous instrument as compared to the analog electronic instrument at my church.

[@ceceliahayslip56]

Highland Cathedral has been proposed as Scotland's national anthem. There are several versions for lyrics but all speak to the heart. Highland Cathedral is my home.

[@voldan7740]

what a wonderful warm tone - majestic bagpipes without any problems in pace or embedding to the orchestra - amazing

[@itswagon]

So beautiful! Thank you.

[@Xogroroth666]

Incredible, 2 Germans capturing the Hi'lands this well... Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb, neither of Scots origine, making this tune. Quite bloody stunning!

[@paulsomers6048]

The audience stood, as if it were the Scottish national anthem. It should be!

[@lauraselkirk5900]

Paul Somers, I agree - it should be!

[@gazza2933]

I'm English and I totally agree. Anything is better than that durge we have as a United Kingdom. Go for it Jocks! Beautiful piece of music.

[@RWC25419]

But it was compared by a couple of German guys. Still, a very rousing celebration of Scottish heritage!

Just sent my very RC sister this with glowing recommendation, following a very 'personal' Kentucky RC version-many versions are available. Love them all! May your God bless you too!

Kudos to those Germans who wrote this wonderful piece of music that is the source of calm to the entire world.This music has the ability to douse the flame of wars.

[@alexburns3705]

Lonely the exile, o'er distant seas, The home of their birth, gone from their eyes. Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze To the land where their fathers lie. - sadly thats the last lines of the song

Wonderful performance

Da kann man nur aufstehen und sich verneigen.

[@drewkerr5413]

It lacked the sharp rat-a-tat-tat of a snare drum at the beginning.

[@athenasmith5866]

Anyone down for personal bible studies? 😇🙏✨🤗📖🙌🏼

[@Bob-bo8ik]

Nice GERMAN tune. Written for Scottish pipes.

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

Different. In a great cause but the orchestra playing different notes to the pipers makes the end sound like clashing musicians. Pity. Great idea though.

[@seamus1956]

No, this was stunningly beautiful and delightfully complex. The harmonies created between pipes and orchestra were perfect, right down to the concluding crescendo. Magnificent!!

[@marynance4302]

The intertwined melodies were magnificent. Most beautiful rendition I've heard.
