Highland Cathedral (Pipe organ and Bagpipe) - Rafael Ferreyra & Pablo Rocco

Highland Cathedral is a popular melody for the Great Highland Bagpipe.
This melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany. It has been proposed as the Scottish National Anthem to replace unofficial anthems Scotland the Brave and/or Flower of Scotland. It has subsequently undergone various orchestrations and had lyrics added in English and in Scottish Gaelic.
With many thanks to: "Banda de Gaitas Ciudad de Buenos Aires".

How moving! It's a really beautiful piece. I don't know how to explain it, there is... magic. And the relationship with the images is impressive!

Beautiful! There is something special with bagpipes, and the theme seems very emotive to me. Thank you.

Just WONDERFUL!!! What a great combination!!!! Two very, very fine musicians, indeed! I could listen to this rendition all night long! Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Scottish, German, who cares? No one who hears this can fail to long for the Highlands. This is the best version on KZbin, by far! Thank you for posting!

[@edmac333]

I want this played, exactly this arrangement, as they carry me in to my church, the First Methodist Church in Marion, Indiana. Just not for a long time to come!

[@earthlightsmusic2743]

Never heard anything so sweet before played on this combination of instruments! A sweet melody over a sweet harmony --- some part of me deep inside teared up.

Thank you very much!

[@DellAnderson]

@david alexander - do you have any reference that there was a version of Highland Cathedral prior to the german piece composed in 1982? I have corresponded with Michael Korb, one of the two composers (the other was Uli Roever) and I am not aware of any preexisting piece. There was no 'traditional' version of this piece in other words.

[@duncancallum]

All Scots know this was written by 2 German composers and really love how they beautifully composed a tune that we Scots truly love for ever .

[@lizzy-folksongsscottis4518]

Fabulous!

I really like the organ and bagpipes together. I'm an organist and I was wondering where can I get the music for this piece that you on organ and bagpipe. It will be really useful.

Est-ce que ont pourrais avoir les partitions pour la cornemuse et l'orgue? C'est pour mon mariage prochainement merci!

[@stylusfantasticus]

Sorry I have just read this....i assume you are already married...regards!

[@Papafarmerbex]

Ferreyra or Ferreira?

[@juliapalm8738]

Where can I get the sheet music for this piece? I want it to be my wedding march in June.

[@stylusfantasticus]

+Julia Stahl I think if you ask the organist he would be able to play it. And you need to get a bagpipe player too. Regards !

[@juliapalm8738]

+stylusfantasticus My organist and bag pipe player asked for sheet music. Maybe I will write an e-mail to the composer...

[@jeremybidwell2968]

Everytime I hear it I cry because I went to school in Scotland and it was played every Sunday for chapel, every rugby match and every house dinner.

[@stylusfantasticus]

Mercí !

Man denkt direkt an Köln, germany colonia. Du bis en Stadt up die mer all hie stonn....

[@corjp]

Sorry but the bagpipes sound like a very sick sheep and the organ does not pull its full strength as it would sound in a brassband or regular massedband. I mis the part when "it all comes togerther in a bombastic part" I certainly have heard better versions. Sorry Sorry Sorry but this is my personal observation.

[@stylusfantasticus]

Your comment sounds quite acceptable to me. Diversity in opinions are always welcome, creates variety and makes people think. Regards.-

[@alexscott4428]

not convinced that is a Bagpipe, a good cover though nice sound.

[@stylusfantasticus]

Yes, there was a bagpipe, a friend of mine was playing it. Regards!

[@charmainemilburn6928]

and a few slips aswell...

[@stylusfantasticus]

yes.-
