Lord Lovat's Lament - The Big Music Society featuring Murray Henderson - Live at Cottiers

The Big Music Society performed live at Cottiers Theatre in Glasgow on 13 August 2015 as part of the Piping Live! festival. As part of their series of new arrangements of piobaireachd, they invited world-renowned piobaireachd master Murray Henderson to join them, along with a string quartet comprising James Lindsay, Susan Appelbe, Megan Henderson and Mharie Mackinnon.
The Big Music Society's Calum MacCrimmon and John Mulhearn invited TRADtv to film the concert.

[@Ubu987]

Some dry musical humor at the start when the strings sway up and down by a semitone like the waking of the drones. Give the poor piper a treadmill! How can you keep the long rhythm without walking?

[@davidblue435]

sa

[@kevinngo4751]

My use Summer school 2 years ago was teacher is John erratt boss of me too very special Responsibility Important

[@davidwatson]

sounds to me like Murray tuned down to Bb. Is that right? Anybody actually know?

[@davidwatson]

I mean concert Bb as at 466 Hz

[@samcwiley]

Yes it's a concert Bb chanter

[@odonnghaile]

​@@davidwatson concert pitch is 440 and its probably a bflat chanter

[@ericstefanelli3423]

I really like the piper playing, but on the other hand I find that for pibroch, the violinists do not do their job well, it would have been much better to employ real traditional Scottish fiddlers to accompany this remarkable lament! The classical violin playing breaks the feeling of this unique music, the feeling is not what it should be.

[@epm5433]

I have no idea what song this is, but it is NOT "Lord Lovat's Lament." There are several versions of LLL on this website played by major military pipe bands as well as smaller contingents and this melody sounds nothing like them.

[@the_mth3580]

It is the piobaireachd Lord Lovat's Lament which is different from the 4/4 march you are referring too. Two different tunes sharing the same name.

[@TheMrRaguel]

This tune was composed in 1746 and bears no relation, other than titular, to the modern piece you are referring to.

[@epm5433]

@Traditional Arts International As an American who comes across many self-loathing, bitter, POS, you should take that brick out of your ass. And then go screw yourself. But you probably spend most of your day going that.
