Sí Bheag Sí Mhór on uilleann pipes

[@rwilsbach9206]

My husband is an Uilleann piper. He performed one time at a venue when an elderly man came up to me and said, "That's something you'll won't hear every day!" Thought but didn't say, "Well, actually, I do!"

[@gloin10]

"Thought but didn't say, "Well, actually, I do!""? And aren't you lucky?

[@rwilsbach9206]

@@gloin10 I am, so! Another time when we were busking downtown, Tom had his sunglasses on when an older man came up to me and said, "He's blind, isn't he?" I was so tempted to say, "No, but he's deaf!""

La musique Celte rapproche les hommes et les femmes de ce monde !!

[@iansmith5196]

Je suis d'accord Dominique que cette musique a le pouvoir de rapprocher les gens d'horizons variés. En revanche et avec du respect, il s'agit de musique irlandaise et non "Celte" qui n'existe pas, sauf chez les labels de CD des années 90.@@Dominique2947

Uilleann pipes are one of the most challenging instruments to learn.

[@stevepaterson2]

A credit to O'Carolan and the pipes, masterfully played and inspiring. Thank you Darragh!

[@HaraldFinster]

Just beautiful! The playing sounds so natural and easy - although this tune must be quite a challenge on the uilleann pipes as it requires playing very high notes (the highest available if I am not mistaken?). The regulators add a lot.

[@jamesburnett7085]

Very emotional music! Marvelous.

So moving, how does it stir the soul and how does it seem so familiar? I'm trying to trace a piece of music that featured the pipes, think it was a minor hit in the 70s and possibly from a film, can anybody help? Its a beautiful piece with orchestra too as I remember..Thankyou.

It seems very difficult to play these pipes. Playing the melody, operating the bellows, lifting the pipe and playing the chanter all at the same time.

[@darraghpipes]

This is very true. But the secret is that it's this fact that also makes the uilleann pipes such a joy to play. They need such focus that while playing them, they become the players entire world. Time is measured in notes and feelings.
