Love, Scott

Piobaireachd (ceol mor) & Ceol Beag (light music) learning from PM John Burgess
Hi Taylor,
See you in 5 or 7 minutes, and these are for your consideration after today's meeting. Are they a unique style of piping, unique-to-the-great-John Burgess?

Still looking for a Crunluath Fosgailtch piece (since Lament for the Viscount of Dundee isn't this) and per the Yellow Tutor.

Seeking too a Crunluath Fosgailtch movement piece even from PM Donald MacLeod's Tutorials for future reference for you in learning (since Tutorials are so helpful).
Cheers, Scott

Thanks, Scott! Giving The Lament for Mary MacLeod a listen now.
Looks like Neil Clark has a tutorial for the Crunluath Fosgailte in the video below as an excerpt from The Little Spree.

More soon, and thanks,
Scott

Taylor,
The Little Spree
PM Donald MacLeod -
Sheet Music
Many resources here including access to MacLeod AND Burgess recordings -
I like the Burgess recording much, but will check out the others too.
Will photograph the Piobaireachd from Book 7
Much about a drunk MacGregor it seems ... Opens creative possibilities conceptually :)"
All the best,
Scott

Taylor,
Regarding -
Light Music - Ceol Beag - here's the tune "Duncan Johnstone" played by two greatest pipes, John Burgess and Stuart Liddell -
John Burgess playing beautifully expressive Light Music -
Duncan Johnstone / Farewell to Nigg
https://youtu.be/0yS1JoEgqug
Duncan Johnstone - Hornpipe, Train Journey North - Hornpipe, Jig of Slurs - Jig, Clumsy Lover - Jig
As I think I've mentioned, I studied in a workshop in Glasgow in ~1981 with Duncan Johnstone (on a ZIS stipendium, while studying in Munich for a year at the time, with further blog entry details - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.
Wanna work on playing the jig "Duncan Johnstone" one of these weeks? And re-visit some Blue Tutor tunes - Mason's Apron (here's Stuart again twice
https://youtu.be/hYTK0vaVBHc re learning from LIddell and Burgess) in particular among a few ?
"The Little Spree" Piobaireachd ("The wee run amok" - could we rename this, and even re a kind of freedom, or also going berserk too - re the Scottish ?) sheet music to come, as well as some piano recordings of "The Flowers of Quern" for the D chanter (in the key of G, with one sharp)
Cheers,
Scott
PS
Per what we talked about last night, Daivd Hinson is the Auburn Univ Architect professor I know from Cuttyhunk (but I know Annie better, from my teens growing up there in summers). Please say hi to David and Annie Hinson if you or April ever run into them at Auburn University. (They're great:).
PPS
See, too, especially these pictures of chessmen of Lewis, and possible berserker (re interesting psychology of the Highlands and Islands too :)

Gordon Duncan is an inspirations (and it seems like Scottish rebels as pipers could head over to Brittany and L'Orient for piping in a different kind of cultural climate than in Scotland )

crunluath Fosgailte (where fosgailte means OPEN)
TAYLOR,
Following up on the Piobaireachd (Pibroch) fingering movement at the end of the College of Piping's Yellow Tutor, vol. 4 -
Crunluath Fosgailte (where fosgailte means OPEN)
This which you sent is interesting esp.
Neil Clark - Falkirk Piping
The Little Spree, Crunluath Variation for Jo
Crunluath Variation (Fosgailte), instructional
The Little Spree, Crunluath Variation for Jo
Crunluath Variation (Fosgailte), instructional
Following up too on ...
Fosgailte (where fosgailte means OPEN) regarding
fosgailte crunluath a mach cycle ?
and
TAORLUATH's
taorluath fosgailte in parallel ...
Regarding again,
The Little Spree (Piobaireachd)
While I see the word 'fosgailte' mentioned here ...
The Little Spree (Piobaireachd)
... it's regarding the taorluath Fosgailte (where Fosgailte means OPEN) so let's explore playing perhaps playing both the Taorluath fosgailte and The Crunluath Fosgailte here in LIEU of their a Mach variations ... And as a way to learn the fosgailte movement. What do you think?
Searched on
the little spree piobaireachd crunluath fosgailte
found too
with focus on fosgailte
and with mention of
fosgailte crunluath a mach cycle
So shall we explore the Urlar of the The LIttle Spree next week, and perhaps head in the direction of
fosgailte crunluath a mach cycle
as an experiment even, and in learning too the CoP Yellow Tutor Vol 4 Crunluath fosgailte
potentially as we choose to play it in certain Piobaireachds (and as we think this through further)?
Me thinks Piobaireachd is, metaphorically for Scots-identity pipers,Scottish 'bodymind' computer code :)
Seeking to develop email threads with related resources too here :)
Cheers, Scott

Gordon Duncan - piping creativity learning
Taylor,
Played by Gordon Duncan (who also expanded the possibilities of what's possible on the Great Highland Bagpipe rock and roll-wise) ...
Massacre Of Glencoe (Piobaireachd)
https://youtu.be/TXmF5Kadk9g
And in a new Gordon Duncan thread ...
And here's a full album, and an interesting conception of piping, as the circular breath (but the album )
Gordon Duncan - The Circular Breath - 1997
but it's not Gordon Duncan's album Thunderstruck on the GHB ...
(was sort of inspiring too for my SSP album ... "Honey in the Bag" if I were to record it to a physical CD ...)
Scott
This piping has a lot of R&R influence - both AC /DC, energy-wise, and moving ...
Thunderstruck-Gordon Duncan
Am curious about R&R energy and Piobaireachd ... could be interesting exploration ... and re your moving to Georgia (identity and culture-wise too ... while keeping in mind one's career, eg becoming a teacher + :)) ... bit of a trip to say the least :)

PM Stuart Liddell piping learning
Taylor,
The two most wise or thoughtful creative bagpiping videos I've seen (both by Stuart Liddell) - wisdom in bagpiping?
Both are so forward planning oriented, and even philosophical in a sense ... re thinking where one's heading with piping (inner bodymind) harmoniousness music ... as well ...
Both are here ... https://www.stuartliddell.com/
and ...
Appreciating too his long-time alliance with amazing drummer DS Stephen McWhirter who is here too -
(Are these Stuart's or the web site manager's choices of Stuart's best video media to add for outreach and inspiration and performance too ?)
As a follow up on learning Ceol Beag (Light Music) from Stuart Liddell, here again are ...
Duncan Johnstone - Hornpipe, Train Journey North - Hornpipe, Jig of Slurs - Jig, Clumsy Lover - Jig
payed by Stuart Liddell

Re Stuart Liddell's 'wisdom' am going to watch his Glenfiddich Piobaireachd videos for what I've observed before as his very steady or still-minded Piobaireachd meditation, perhaps as a feedback loop from the drones and his chanter back into his bodymind / brain :)
Teaching Piobaireachd
Learning Piobaireachd,
As meditation,
Listening to the drones,
like a circular circuit,
and stilling one's mind,
I chant,
bodymind
heading to oneness,
inner releasing action
unfolding with the breath :)
Cheers, Scott
